Tajikistan national cricket team explained
The Tajikistan national cricket team represents the country of Tajikistan in international cricket. It is administered by the Tajikistan Cricket Federation.[1] Tajikistan has been a member of Asian Cricket Council since 2024.[2] They were granted associate status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in July 2021.[3]
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the Tajikistan and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[4]
History
The Tajikistan national team played three One Days and two T20s in Afghanistan in May 2013 and a reciprocal tour by a team from Afghanistan was staged in Tajikistan in June 2013.
Tajikistan's men's national team toured Afghanistan in December 2013, playing two 40 over matches and one 20 over match versus Afghanistan A.[5] [6] [7]
Associate membership (2021–present)
On 16 July 2021, Tajikistan became an Associate member of the ICC along with Switzerland and Mongolia.[8]
Tajikistan was granted provisional membership of the Asian Cricket Council in January 2024, subject to an evaluation visit to determine their eligibility for permanent status.
