The Jersey national cricket team is the team that represents the Bailiwick of Jersey, a Crown dependency in international cricket. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005, and an associate member in 2007.[4]

History[]

Jersey first played international cricket against neighbouring Channel Island of Guernsey in the inaugural annual Inter-insular match in 1950.[5] They won ten of the matches in a row between 1992 and 2001, before a run of five consecutive victories for Guernsey until 2006.[6]

Jersey became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2005,[4] and took part in Division Two of the European Championship in Scotland in 2006, losing to Norway in the final.[7] The following March, they beat Italy in a three match series that they had to win to be promoted to associate membership of the ICC.[8] They were granted associate status at an ICC meeting at Lord's in June.[9]

In August, Jersey won the inter-insular by 4 runs to end Guernsey's run of wins,[10] but lost the first inter-insular Twenty20 match in September by five wickets.[11]

  • 2008, Jersey hosted Division Five of the World Cricket League in May. Jersey performed well and topped Group B after the group qualifying matches. Jersey then beat the United States in their semi-final before losing the final to Afghanistan. As Division Five runners-up, Jersey were promoted to Division Four of the World Cricket League.[12]
  • 2008, Jersey travelled to neighbours Guernsey in August to take part in Division Two of the European Championship against; Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar and Guernsey. Jersey improved on their 2006 performance, edging out Guernsey by one run in the final group match to win the tournament undefeated.[13]
  • 2008, Jersey travelled to Tanzania in October to participate in Division Four of the World Cricket League. Division Four proved to be a step too far for Jersey, as with a series of poor batting displays Jersey won only one group match, before losing to Fiji in a positional playoff and finishing sixth. On the basis of their sixth-place finish in this tournament, Jersey were relegated back to Division Five.[14]
  • 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Five in Nepal, they finished 5th to be relegated to 2011 ICC World Cricket League Division Six in Malaysia, where they finished 4th to remain in Division Six.
  • 2011 ICC European T20 Championship Division One, hosted by Jersey, losing to Italy in semi-final.

  • 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Four matches, saw Jersey win only one of their 5 matches in the round robin and relegation back to WCL5.
  • 2015 ICC Europe Division One competition saw Jersey come out on top and win entry into the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
  • 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held in Scotland and Ireland in July saw Jersey end in 6th place in Group A, 11th overall.

2018-Present[]

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Jersey and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[15]

In September 2018, Jersey qualified from Group B of the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier to the Regional Finals of the tournament.[16]

Jersey played their first T20I against Guernsey on 31 May 2019.
