About Ray Wynter

Born 1955. Ray Wynter is a Jamaican cricketer.

Ray Ricardo Wynter (born 27 November 1955) is a former Jamaican cricketer who played first-class and one-day cricket for Jamaica from 1975 until 1982. A right-handed batsman and right-arm opening bowler, he played 30 matches in all in those formats. In 1983, Wynter participated in a rebel tour of South Africa. As a result, he and all the other players on the tour received a lifetime ban from West Indian cricket. He made his senior first-class debut on 16 January 1976, against the Combined Islands in the Shell Shield. His first season saw him appear in five first-class matches, taking 10 wickets at 25.50. He took 5/48 against Guyana, which was to be a career-best. Wynter played only one limited-overs match in his first season, taking 2/27 against Barbados in the Gillette Cup.

Wynter had little success in his second Shell Shield season, taking only four wickets at 75.00 with a best of 2/28. For taking part in the rebel tour, Wynter and the other participants received a life ban from professional cricket in the West Indies. Wynter played in all six of his team's matches at the tournament, taking seven wickets at an average of 20.28. Among his teammates, only Zamin Amin and Kamran Rasheed took more wickets. Wynter's best performance at the tournament was 3/30 from nine overs, taken against Papua New Guinea. The only other game in which he took more than a single wicket was against Kenya, where he took 2/39.
