Herbert Chang is a former West Indian batsman who played only one test in January 1979 against India before joining the West Indian rebel cricket team to tour South Africa in 1982-83.

As the international cricketing bodies banned South Africa for 23 years from 1969-1992, all the players in the West Indin rebel team were subsequently banned by West Indies from playing cricket for the country.

After being banned Chang played only the first-class cricket. Thereafter, he suffered his worst days of life as he worked in a coal bunker before living the life of a destitute on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica.
