They competed in the tournament predecessor, the European Nations Cup in 1997, and will compete in its successor, Division Three of the European Championship in 2007.
[edit] Domestic cricket
Malta boasts a climate that enables cricket to be played all year round [2] and encourages visiting teams to come and play on the island. [3] There is only one ground, in existence for over a century [4] and there are four local teams.
