He played 116 Test 238 One Day International matches, and scored 7,487 and 8,648 runs respectively. He scored centuries in Test matches and One Day International matches on 18 and 17 occasions respectively during his international career. He was rated by Trinidad and Tobago Guardian as "one of the greatest of all time", while the BBC described him as "one of the greatest opening partnerships in history with fellow Barbadian Gordon Greenidge." The cricket almanac Wisden noted his "combination of timing and barely evident power", and named him one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1991.
  Haynes made his Test debut against Australia at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, in March 1978. His first Test century came in February 1980 against New Zealand at the Carisbrook, Dunedin, a match the West Indies lost by one wicket. His highest score of 184 runs came the same year against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground, London. Five of his Test centuries came against Australia.
