Heya dude west Indies is a country and now it's name changes to Windies
imsujit13:
'Indies' in the name West Indies indeed come from India. Christopher Columbus set out to find a faster sea route to India in the late 15th century. ... He landed in the Caribbean islands instead of his destination in Asia, but he thought that he had reached India and therefore called the place 'Indies'.(Source-Google)

Hello !!
Here is your answer ..
I agree with you that west indies is not a country but western indies is a group of islands ..like
which are separate countries but still you can consider them like Team India and Ranaji Trophy Teams..
Because of the small population they plays as a united team under the name
