Former Barnes allrounder, Darren Sammy, replaced Chris Gayle in leading the West Indies from the 3-test series against Sri Lanka in November 2010.

Darren played for Barnes' 1st XI in 2003, averaging 29.50 with the bat and 25.35 with the ball.

Fraser Stewart, Barnes' Skipper in 2003 and now working for the MCC, said 'We were very lucky to have Darren as a Barnes player in 2003. He was a miserly bowler and he was the main reason for Justin Brown and Mark Price taking lots of wickets at the other end. Lonsdale Road wasn't big enough for his batting, where he cleared the boundaries on many many occasions. He was hugely popular with the team. I have bumped into him a few times over the years, and he always asks about the club and its players. Darren may be known as St Lucia's first Test player but, in my eyes, he'll always be Barnes' first Test player.
Ed Craig, Deputy Editor of Wisden magazine added 'It has got to the stage where all members of the magazine's team know Darren as "Barnes' Darren Sammy".'

Coaching is available for Juniors in Hockey.

Afghanistan and former Barnes all-rounder Mohammad Nabi was named Cricket World® Player Of The Week after topping the wicket-taking charts during the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates. The off-spinner took 13 wickets at a strike rate of a wicket every 9.69 balls to help Afghanistan win the tournament and secure their place in the ICC World Twenty20 in the Caribbean in May. Nabi, who played for Barnes in 2008, turned in match-winning performances against Ireland with a brutal innings of 43 and versus the UAE with a mean spell of 3-17. The draw means Nabi could come up against another former Barnes player, the West Indies' Darren Sammy, who in 2003/4 also played for the Lonsdale Road club. But to do that Nabi must first help his team get past South Africa and India!
