The team was extremely successful in the 1990s, with their allowed foreign player either being Brian Lara or Allan Donald. In 1994 they secured a historic treble, winning the County Championship, Axa Equity & Law League (now National Cricket League) and Benson & Hedges Cup. In that same season Lara set the world record for a first-class cricket score of 501 whilst playing for Warwickshire. Strong performances with the bat saw the county reclaim the County Championship in 2004.
