West Indian cricket team in England in 1988
The West Indian cricket team played 16 first-class cricket matches in England in 1988, under the captaincy of Viv Richards. The West Indies enjoyed tremendous success during the tour, while England endured a "disastrous summer" of continuous change.
England easily won the initial three-match One Day International (ODI) series, retaining the Texaco Trophy and raising expectations for a successful summer in the five-match Test series to follow. However, the West Indies comfortably retained the Wisden Trophy by winning the Test series 4–0. This tour has become known in cricketing circles as the "summer of four captains" as England used four different captains in the five Test matches.〔http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/149707.html〕
==West Indian cricket team==
By the summer of 1988, the West Indies had experienced nearly ten years as the best Test team in world cricket, including a streak of winning 10 of 11 Test series they played from 1980 to 1985–86 (the other was drawn). However, the West Indies side that had enjoyed this considerable recent success was beginning to show signs of ageing. The experienced batsmen Viv Richards (the captain), Gordon Greenidge, Jeff Dujon, and Desmond Haynes were all coming to the end of their careers, and bowlers Michael Holding and Joel Garner and batsman Larry Gomes had recently retired. As a result, the squad arrived with an unusually inexperienced group of pace bowlers. Supporting Malcolm Marshall, a veteran of 53 Tests, were relative newcomers Courtney Walsh (20 Tests), Patrick Patterson (11), Winston Benjamin (4), Curtly Ambrose (3) and Ian Bishop (0).〔Statistics for the start of 1988 season taken from Playfair Cricket Annual 1988, ed.

The West Indies' most recent series had been a hard-fought 1–1 draw at home against Pakistan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tour directory of Pakistan in West Indies, 1987–88 )〕 but their previous two Test series against England had both resulted in 5–0 victories. The first of these, in England in 1984,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tour directory, West Indies in England, 1984 )〕 was the first whitewash England had suffered since the 1920–21 season when England toured Australia,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 England in Australia : Dec 1920/Mar 1921 (5 TESTS) )〕 while the second occurred in the Caribbean in 1985–86. These two one-sided victories by the West Indies became known as "blackwashes".
