==History==
In the mid-1890s, several touring English amateur sides played matches against Antiguan representative sides. R. S. Lucas' XI toured in 1895, winning by an innings and 69 runs,〔(Antigua v RS Lucas' XI ) (RS Lucas' XI in West Indies 1894/95) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 and A. A. Priestley's and Lord Hawke's XIs both toured in early 1897, winning by an innings and 96 runs and 259 runs, respectively.〔(Antigua v A Priestley's XI ) (A Priestley's XI in West Indies 1896/97) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕〔(Antigua v Lord Hawke's XI ) (Lord Hawke's XI in West Indies 1896/97) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 Part of the colony of the British Leeward Islands until 1958, and a member of the West Indies Federation between 1958 and 1962, Antigua played almost exclusively in the Leewards Islands Tournament, with occasional matches against touring teams, which included a "New Zealand Ambassadors" team in 1970, Kent in 1973 and 1979, and Canada in 1976.〔(Other matches played by Antigua ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 At West Indian domestic level, Antiguan and Barbudan cricketers represented the Leeward Islands cricket team, which debuted in the Shell Shield, the domestic competition, in 1958. The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands participated together as the Combined Islands cricket team from 1965 to 1981, when they separated again. Antigua and Barbuda gained independence in 1981, and from then on participated as "Antigua and Barbuda". The team toured Bermuda in September 1984, drawing a three-day match with the Bermuda national team.〔(Antigua and Barbuda in Bermuda 1984 ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕
At the 1998 Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Antigua and Barbuda fielded a separate team at the cricket tournament, as did Jamaica and Barbados.〔(Commonwealth Games 1998/99 ) – ESPNCricinfo. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 Matches at the tournament had List A status. Antigua and Barbuda were drawn in Group B, along with Australia, Canada, and India. The team's first match, against India at the Tenaga National Sports Complex, finished in a no-result due to rain. The team was captained by Dave Joseph, and included seven West Indies international players: Curtly Ambrose, Eldine Baptiste, Kenny Benjamin, Winston Benjamin, Ridley Jacobs, Sylvester Joseph, and Richie Richardson.〔(Antigua and Barbuda v India ), Commonwealth Games 1998/99 (Group B) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 After losing to Australia and defeating Canada, Antigua and Barbuda finished second in Group B over India due to a higher net run rate, but did not qualify for the semi-finals.〔(Commonwealth Games 1998/99 Group B Table ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 The team's leading run-scorer at the games was Ridley Jacobs, who scored 74 runs, and the leading wicket-taker was Anthony Lake.〔(Averages by team at the 1998 Commonwealth Games ) – CricketArchive.

As part of a reorganisation of the structure of cricket in the West Indies, Antigua and Barbuda, along with the other Leeward and Windward Islands constituent members, fielded teams at the Red Stripe Bowl, the domestic one-day tournament, in the 2001–02, 2002–03, and 2003–04 seasons. The team was largely unsuccessful, and did not progress beyond the group stage.〔(List A Matches played by Antigua and Barbuda ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 Antigua and Barbuda also participated in the Stanford 20/20 tournament in 2006 and 2008, being knocked out in the quarter-finals in both instances.〔(Twenty20 matches played by Antigua and Barbuda ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 2 March 2012.〕 The team played a number of matches against touring sides in the mid-2000s, including against England, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, and India cricket team.〔
