The Guernsey cricket team is the team that represents the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a Crown dependency in international cricket matches. They became a member in 2005[1] and an associate member of the International Cricket Council in 2008.[2]

International competition

Guernsey has a long rivalry with the neighbouring Channel Island of Jersey, playing an annual encounter against each other known as the inter-insular match. Jersey had a run of ten consecutive victories from 1992 to 2001.[1] however since then its been pretty even.

They made their debut at the European Championship in 2006, and finished in 5th place in Division Two, the tournament being won by Norway. Since then they have won promotion to the T20 Championship Division One.

International matches are being played by Guernsey outside the above two events also, with matches against Bermuda and Namibia in 2005, and more matches against Bermuda in 2006. Games against France and a tour of Canada were planned for 2007.[3]

Guernsey placed second at the 2009 Global Division Seven tournament, advancing to Division Six. In Division Six Guernsey finished 4th and therefore remained in Division Six. They came first in the 2011 Division Six tournament, advancing to 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Five. However, they came third in the Division Five tournament, remaining in the division, before coming 5th and being relegated to Division Six for the 2015 season, winning immediate promotion puts them back in Division Five. Guernsey is ranked 7th in Europe in the World Cricket League
