It is selected by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) from players who had been unable to secure a contract with one of the seven other existing regional teams, and is restricted to players under the age of 23. West Indies B had little on-field success during its time in the competition, and the team was disbanded prior to the 2004–05 season after a wider reorganisation of domestic cricket in the region. It was reconstituted in June 2018 for participation in the inaugural Global T20 Canada competition with the intention of exposing and adding to the development of developing players who could become future international players. It subsequently participated in the 2018–19 Regional Super50 competition and in the 2019–20 Regional Super50. The team has enjoyed more success in the List A format than it did in the First Class format, as it placed third in its group in the 2018-19 season and won the 2019-20 season.
