Carl Hooper, born on 15 December 1966, is a Guyanese former cricketer who captained the West Indies in Test matches and One Day Internationals. An all-rounder, he was a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler who came to prominence in the late 1980s in a team that included Vivian Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Malcolm Marshall and Courtney Walsh, and he represented the West Indies over a 16-year international career. He announced his retirement three weeks before the 1999 Cricket World Cup but made a surprising comeback in 2001 as West Indies captain, and he then captained the West Indies at the 2003 Cricket World Cup. He later captained Guyana to three regional List A titles, in 1996, 1999 and 2002.
