History
editThe SKCA was founded in 1913 and in the same year became a founding member of the Leeward Islands Cricket Association.[1] Nevis was admitted to the Leeward Islands Cricket Association in 1949,[1] while the Nevis Cricket Association (NCA) was formed in 1973.[2]
A standalone St Kitts and Nevis cricket team has played on a few occasions, mostly in minor competitions and matches against visiting national teams to the West Indies.[3][4]
