In the 2002–03 Red Stripe Bowl, in Williams' absence, Adams served as captain of the Rest of Leeward Islands team that played during Antigua and Barbuda's period as a separate participant. He played his final matches for the Leewards in the 2004–05 Regional Four Day Competition, aged 29. In 2006, Adams also played a single match for Anguilla in the Stanford 20/20 tournament, against Barbados.
