In 2010 the Falkland Cricket Association appointed a development officer, with the aim of having 100% participation of school-age children in school cricket, for a minimum of 6 weeks a year. Falkland Cricket Association official Roger Diggle commented, "We think we might be the first country in the world to achieve 100% participation at school age." [2]

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Falkland Islands and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status. [3]
