List of Rwanda Twenty20 International cricketers

This is a list of Rwandan Twenty20 International cricketers.

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Rwanda and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be eligible for T20I status. ^[1] Rwanda played their first T20I against Ghana on 18 August 2021 during their tour of Rwanda. ^[2]

This list comprises all members of the Rwanda cricket team who have played at least one T20I match. It is initially arranged in the order in which each player won his first Twenty20 cap. Where more than one player won their first Twenty20 cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname.
