Australia, under Pat Cummins, retained the Frank Worrell Trophy on their recent tour of the West Indies. Remarkably, this prestigious trophy has remained with Australia since 1995, when Mark Taylor's side ended West Indies' two-decade-long dominance. The Frank Worrell Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Test series between these two cricketing nations.
The trophy is named after Sir Frank Worrell, the first black captain of the West Indies. This trophy, although commissioned by the Australian Cricket Board of Control (presently Cricket Australia) was named after the touring West Indies captain in 1960-61 symbolising the respect he had earned in the cricketing circle.
