The Belorussian Cricket team is the team that represents Belarus in International Cricket competitions. They are not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council and are therefore not entitled to participate in ICC Official events, however they do have an application to the European Cricket Council pending, which should see them granted Affiliate Status in the near future.

Despite not having an international status the club cricket scene is flourishing in Belarus, primarily centred around a 5 team national cup held in the city of Gomel. A large crowd gathered to watch the spectacle of the final in 2006, and pamphlets were produced in Russian to allow the locals to develop a better understanding of the game.
