The West Indies cricket team toured England in the 1950 season to play a four-match Test series against England.
West Indies won the series 3–1 with no matches drawn. The second Test at Lord's was the first time that the West Indies had won a match in England; in that match Ramadhin took 5 wickets for 66 runs and 6 for 86, whilst Valentine took 4 for 48 and 3 for 79.[1]
Wisden in 1951 named four West Indian players as Cricketer of the Year. They were Sonny Ramadhin, Alf Valentine, Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell. The fifth player was England wicket-keeper Godfrey Evans. For the source, see Wisden 1951 in Cricinfo.
