Ian Raphael Bishop (born October 24, 1967 in Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago) is a former West Indian cricketer, who represented his team between 1989 and 1998. A powerful fast bowler with a talent for outswing, severe back injuries cut him down in 1991. He rehabilitated strongly and made adjustments to his bowling action, returning strongly late in 1992. however in 1993, he was struck by injuries again, not returning until mid 1995, thus what was at one stage a highly promising career had been substatially reduced.
He now tours the globe as a commentator. Like several other past players for the West Indies, he is quite vocal about the languishing state of his former team.
