The United States women's cricket team is the team that represents the country of the United States in international women's cricket matches. Although the United States has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1965, the team made its international debut in 2009. The United States is one of the leading associate teams in the ICC Americas region and has participated in two editions of the Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier and two editions of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier, although it is yet to qualify for any World Cups.
A national women's program was initiated in 2008. [6] The U.S. women's team made its international debut against Brazil at the 2009 Americas Women's Championship, which it hosted in Fort Lauderdale; former West Indies international Roselyn Emmanuel was the team's inaugural captain. [7] In 2010, the team defeated Canada in a three-match series to represent the Americas region at the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier. [6] The team finished fourth in its group at the Qualifier with only one win – a one-run victory against Zimbabwe. [8]
The early years of the women's national team were marked by conflict with the sport's governing body, the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA). In the lead-up to the 2011 World Cup Qualifier, it was reported that USACA had been reprimanded by the ICC over its lack of support for the women's team and failure to meet administrative deadlines for the tournament. [9] Thirteen players also threatened to withdraw from the national squad over gender inequality in tour stipends. [10] In 2012, it was reported that the team's national coach Robin Singh had made sexist remarks disparaging the players' ability and stating that he had had to "drop [his] mental standards" in order to coach them. [11] USACA failed to hold any national women's events from 2011 to 2016, when the ICC intervened to establish a national combine. [6]
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the United States women and another international side after July 1, 2018 will be a full WT20I. [12]
In March 2019, Julia Price was appointed as the head coach of the team. Price had previously played international cricket for Australia. [13] Price stepped down from the role in May 2022, and was succeeded by Shivnarine Chanderpaul in July 2022 as women's senior and U-19 coach. [14] [15]
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. [16] The United States were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier regional group, alongside three other teams. [17]
In May 2022, the ICC announced the United States as one of five women's sides to gain Women's One Day International (ODI) status. [18] Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland and Thailand are the other four teams. [19]
