When Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) toured the Caribbean the following season, de Caires was selected for three of the four Test matches, including the inaugural one by the West Indies on home soil, played at Bridgetown, Barbados, in January 1930. De Caires scored 80 runs in the first innings and 70 in the second to earn his side a creditable draw.[4] Later that year he was selected for the first tour of Australia by a West Indian Test team but did not play in any of the five Test matches.
Personal lifeedit
