Prior to the start of his international cricket career, Darren played 10 matches for Barnes' 1st XI in 2003, scoring 236 runs at 29.50, and taking 17 wickets at 25.35, with an economy rate of 3.48, showing great promise at an early age.
Darren went on to become the first person from the island of St. Lucia to play international cricket, making his Test debut against England, taking 7/66, the best bowling figures for a West Indian in his first Test since Alf Valentine in 1950. Darren was appointed West Indies captain in October 2010 and scored his maiden Test century in May 2012 during a match against England.
His experience of English conditions when he played in 2003 for Barnes Cricket Club in the Middlesex Premier Cricket League has been credited for his call up to international cricket as only uncapped player selected in the 15-man West Indies squad for the NatWest Triangular One Day International Series with England and New Zealand in June 2004.
Not only is Darren the first player from Barnes to play test cricket, he is also the only captain to win the the ICC World Twenty20 twice, in 2012 v Sri Lanka and recently in 2016 v England.
