Channel Islands cricket team

Last updated

The Channel Islands cricket team was a cricket team which was formed from the combined teams of Jersey and Guernsey and representative of the Channel Islands as a whole. The team briefly played Minor counties cricket when it played in the MCCA Knockout Trophy in 2001 and 2002. [1] The team played eight matches in total, though without success. It lost seven matches while another was abandoned. [1] The team played four home matches, all of which took place at Grainville, Saint Saviour, Jersey. [2] Teams which played Minor Counties cricket at this time also took part in List A matches in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, although this was not the case with the Channel Islands.

A combined Channel Islands team previously played minor matches against a United England Eleven in 1866, 1867 and 1869. It later appeared again in 1951 against the nomadic Arabs Cricket Club. [3]
