The Germany national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Germany in international cricket matches. They have been an associate member of the International Cricket Council since 1999, having previously been an affiliate member since 1991.[1] They are currently ranked at 37th in the world, equal with the Bahamas, Japan and Mozambique, and are the eighth ranked non-test team in Europe.[2]

History

Germany became an affiliate member of the ICC in 1991,[1] but did not play their first international until 1995, when they took part in the European Nations Cup in Oxford, England, playing against Austria, Sweden, Greece and France.[3] They hosted the tournament in 1996, playing against France, Portugal, Sweden and France,[4] and finished as runners up in the 1997 tournament after losing to France by one run in the final,[5] the winning run being scored by David Bordes whilst he had a skull fracture. The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack later listed the final as one of the 100 best matches of the 20th century.[6]

In 1998, Germany competed in the European Championship for the first time and finished seventh.[7] They became an associate member of the ICC the following year[1] and played in Division Two of the European Championship in 2000, finishing as runners-up to Gibraltar.[8]

They played at the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada, their first and, to date, only appearance in the ICC Trophy.[9] They failed to progress beyond the first round[10] and again finished as runners up to Gibraltar in Division Two of the European Championship the following year.[11] They also played in Division Two in 2004, finishing third,[12] and in 2006, again finishing third.[13]
