[edit] History
Jersey first played international cricket against neighbouring channel island Guernsey in the inaugural Inter-insular match in 1957. The match was drawn, Jersey eventually picking up their first win in 1960. They won ten of the matches in a row between 1992 and 2001, before a run of five consecutive victories for Guernsey until 2006.[4]
Jersey became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2005,[1] and took part in Division Two of the European Championship in Scotland in 2006, losing to Norway in the final.[5] The following March, they beat Italy in a three match series that they had to win to be promoted to associate membership of the ICC.[6] They were granted associate status at an ICC meeting at Lord's in June.[7]
In August, Jersey won the inter-insular by 4 runs to end Guernsey's run of wins,[8] but lost the first inter-insular Twenty20 match in September by five wickets.[9]
In May 2008 Jersey were promoted to Division 4 of the World Cricket League, securing their position by ending up as runners-up of the Division 5 tournament to Afghanistan.
