Different names are often used for the islands, which can be
confusing
- Greater and lesser Antilles
Greater Antilles – the big 4, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico
Lesser Antilles – the others. The lesser Antilles are split up into the Leeward Islands (east of Puerto Rico down to Dominica) and the Windward Islands (from Dominica down to the north of Trinidad and Tobago)
- West Indies, countries in the Caribbean basin. Sometimes Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana are also included in the West Indies. They are split into the English, French and Dutch West Indies. The West Indies cricket team consists of players from 15 countries (islands), which won the Cricket ICC World Cup twice.
