History

In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all of its members. [6] Therefore, all Twenty20 (T20) matches played between Isle of Man and other ICC members since 1 July 2018 have been eligible for full official international status. [7]

The Isle of Man Cricket Association formed its first women's national team in November 2020. [8]

They played their inaugural WT20I against Norway at Desert Springs Cricket Ground in Almería, Spain, on 12 November 2022, successfully chasing a target of 47 in just 4.3 overs to win by 10 wickets. [9] [10] The match was part of the 2022 Spain Women's Pentangular Series also involving the host nation, Italy and Sweden. All-rounder Lucy Barnett made the first WT20I half-century by an Isle of Man player in the game against Italy, finishing with 64 from 64 balls in a losing effort as the team ended the competition in fourth place. [9] [11]

Isle of Man swept a three-match bilateral series with Austria in July 2023. [12] [13] The following month, they won the 2023 Women's Continental Cup at Moara Vlasiei Cricket Ground in Romania. In an event also featuring Romania, Malta and Greece, the Isle of Man went unbeaten as they finished top of the group stage before defeating the Greeks by nine wickets in the final. [14]

On 18 August 2024, Joanne Hicks became the first Isle of Man player to take a WT20I five-wicket haul when she claimed 5/10, including a hat-trick, against Malta in the second of a three-match bilateral series at Marsa Sports Club, Marsa, Malta. [15] [16] [17]

Later in August 2024, the Isle of Man won the Valletta Cup, defeating Greece by seven wickets in the final of the tournament which also featured hosts Malta, Serbia and a team from the MCC. [18] [19]
