Jersey cricket team explained
The Jersey men's cricket team is the team that represents the Bailiwick of Jersey, a Crown dependency, in international cricket. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005, and an associate member in 2007.[1]
History
Jersey first played international cricket against neighbouring Channel Island of Guernsey in the inaugural annual Inter-insular match in 1950.[2] They won ten matches in a row between 1992 and 2001, before a run of five consecutive victories for Guernsey until 2006.[3]
Jersey became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2005, and took part in Division Two of the European Championship in Scotland in 2006, losing to Norway in the final.[4] The following March, they beat Italy in a three-match series that they had to win to be promoted to associate membership of the ICC.[5] They were granted associate status at an ICC meeting at Lord's in June.[6]
In August, Jersey won the inter-insular by 4 runs to end Guernsey's run of wins,[7] but lost the first inter-insular Twenty20 match in September by five wickets.[8]
- 2008, Jersey hosted Division Five of the World Cricket League in May. Jersey performed well and topped Group B after the group qualifying matches. Jersey then beat the United States in their semi-final before losing the final to Afghanistan. As Division Five runners-up, Jersey were promoted to Division Four of the World Cricket League.[9]
- 2008, Jersey travelled to neighbours Guernsey in August to take part in Division Two of the European Championship against; Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar and Guernsey. Jersey improved on their 2006 performance, edging out Guernsey by one run in the final group match to win the tournament undefeated.[10]
- 2008, Jersey travelled to Tanzania in October to participate in Division Four of the World Cricket League. Division Four proved to be a step too far for Jersey, as with a series of poor batting displays Jersey won only one group match, before losing to Fiji in a positional playoff and finishing sixth. On the basis of their sixth-place finish in this tournament, Jersey were relegated back to Division Five.[11]
- 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Five in Nepal, they finished 5th to be relegated to 2011 ICC World Cricket League Division Six in Malaysia, where they finished 4th to remain in Division Six.
- 2011 ICC European T20 Championship Division One, hosted by Jersey, losing to Italy in semi-final.
- 2013 ICC European T20 Championship Division One, Jersey losing to Italy in semi-final.

- 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Five was held in March in Malaysia. Jersey were again unbeaten and gained promotion to WCL4.
- 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Four matches, saw Jersey win only one of their 5 matches in the round robin and were relegated to WCL5.
- 2015 ICC Europe Division One competition saw Jersey come out on top and win entry into the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
- 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held in Scotland and Ireland in July saw Jersey end in 6th place in Group A, 11th overall.
- 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Five competition saw an improved result winning four out of five and promotion back to WCL4
- 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Four competition took place in Los Angeles. Two wins was not sufficient, leading to demotion to WCL5
2018-Present
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Jersey and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status.[12]
In September 2018, Jersey qualified from Group B of the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier to the Regional Finals of the tournament.[13]
Jersey played their first T20I against Guernsey on 31 May 2019.
On 27 March 2023, Jersey played their first ever One Day International (ODI) match, against Canada in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off.[14]
On 1 April 2023, Jersey recorded their first win in ODIs, beating Papua New Guinea. Josh Lawrenson became the first cricketer for Jersey to score an ODI century (114), and he was followed by Asa Tribe (115 not out).[15]
In September 2023, a Jersey team made up of a mixture of senior players and young talents won their group to reach finals week at the T10 European Cricket Championship in Málaga, Spain.[16] [17] Returning for the championship round in October, the team finished sixth.[18]
On 7 July 2024, Harrison Carlyon became the first Jersey player to score a century in a T20I when he made 110 off 57 balls against Serbia during the 2024–25 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier at Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, Krefeld, Germany.[19] Jersey went unbeaten throughout the tournament, defeating Norway in the final.[20] [21]
