Guyana has been taking Islanders especially Barbadians from the beginning :

Tommie Burton, a fast bowler, struggled to make his mark as he was of mixed race and lacked the background to gain entry to Barbados's only non-white club. He worked as a practice bowler for Pickwick CC and was used in practice matches
to sharpen up white batsmen chosen to represent the island.
In 1899 he emigrated to Demerara GUYANA: which had far less strict rules on color
(other promising coloured players took the same route) and he bowled well enough in his first
season to gain selection for the 1900 England tour where he took 78 wickets at 21.55 :-*
