The Isle of Man cricket team is the team that represents the Crown dependency of the Isle of Man in international cricket matches. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 2004. [1]
[edit] International Competition
The first international engagement for the Isle Of Man came in 2005 at the European Affiliates Championship. They finished in eighth place in this tournament, which originally meant a demotion to Division Four in the newly expanded five division European Championship. [2] However, when the divisions were announced, the Isle Of Man had a place in Division Three for 2007. As they had a year without competitive international cricket in 2006, the Isle Of Man arranged two one-day friendly matches against Spain played in La Manga at the end of September/beginning of October, both of which they won.
