According to the BCB, the highlight of their 70 years of existence has been the selection of 13 Berbicians to represent the West Indies at the Test level. These players are John Trim, Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon, Ivan Madray, Roy Fredericks, Alvin Kallicharran, Sew Shivnarine, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Narsingh Deonarine, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Leonard Baichan and Clayton Lambert.
