The Bahraini cricket team is the team that represents the country of Bahrain in international cricket matches. They became an ICC affiliate member in 2001. [1] Their first international appearance was at the ACC Trophy in 2004, where they failed to progress beyond the first round. They took part in the tournament again in August 2006, putting in a much better performance to finish in 6th place. Earlier in the year they won the ACC Middle East Cup, beating Afghanistan in the final. [2]
