The Cayman Islands national cricket team is the team that represents the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands in international cricket. The team is organised by the Cayman Islands Cricket Association, which has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2002, having previously been an affiliate member since 1997.[5]
The Cayman Islands debuted internationally at the 2000 Americas Cricket Cup in Canada,[6] and later that year were invited to appear in the 2000–01 Red Stripe Bowl (the West Indian domestic limited-overs competition), where matches had list-A status.[7] During the early 2000s, the Caymans often competed with Bermuda as the third-best team in the ICC Americas region, behind Canada and the United States. When the U.S. was suspended from the 2005 Intercontinental Cup, they were replaced by the Cayman Islands,[8] with the team being afforded the opportunity to make its first-class debut.[9]
In 2006 and 2008, the Cayman Islands played in the Stanford 20/20 tournament (where matches had full Twenty20 status).[10] In the World Cricket League (WCL), Cayman Islands debuted in Division Three in 2007 but subsequently fell as low as Division Six before the WCL was abolished. The Caymans currently play in ICC Americas regional qualification tournaments.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the Cayman Islands and any other ICC member after 1 January 2019 are eligible for T20I status.[11]
