Tobago cricket team

The Tobago cricket team has represented Tobago in various matches since 1958. In the 1978-79 season it played first-class cricket in the Texaco Cup.

Tobago played their first match in 1957-58, a one-day match against the touring Pakistanis. Over the next 15 years several international teams played Tobago. All the matches took place at the Shaw Park ground in Scarborough. In 1964-65, in another one-day match, Tobago dismissed the Australians for 142 and in response made 145 after being 84 for 8.^[1]

For the 1978-79 season the first-class Texaco Cup was expanded to include Tobago as well as the four regional Trinidad sides that had competed in 1977-78. None of the Tobago players had played first-class cricket before. Tobago drew their first match, then lost their next three, two of them by an innings. They finished at the bottom of the table.^[2] All four matches were played on the Trinidad mainland.

The Texaco Cup lost its first-class status after 1978-79. Tobago were scheduled to compete in 1979-80 but did not play any of their matches.^[3]
