Lewis made his senior debut for the Leewards in February 1985, in a limited-overs game against Barbados.[1] Coming in third in the batting order, he scored 145 not out,[2] setting a Leeward Islands record for the highest individual score in List A matches that still stands.[3] Despite this, Lewis never played another limited-overs games for the Leewards.[1] He did appear in three first-class matches later in the 1984–85 season, but failed to repeat his earlier success.[4]

After emigrating to the U.S., Lewis made his debut for the U.S. national team in August 1991, in the annual Auty Cup fixture against Canada.[5] His first major international tournament for the team was the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya.[6] He scored 196 runs from six innings (the second-most for his team), with his highest score being 68 not out against East and Central Africa.[7] Lewis played his last international fixtures at the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia, aged 37.[6] His older brother, Enoch Lewis, also played first-class cricket.[8]
