The Jersey men's cricket team is the team that represents the Bailiwick of Jersey, a Crown dependency, in international cricket. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005, and an associate member in 2007.

History

Jersey first played international cricket against neighbouring Channel Island of Guernsey in the inaugural annual Inter-insular match in 1950. They won ten matches in a row between 1992 and 2001, before a run of five consecutive victories for Guernsey until 2006. Jersey became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2005, and took part in Division Two of the European Championship in Scotland in 2006, losing to Norway in the final. 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. They were granted associate status at an ICC meeting at Lord's in June. In August, Jersey won the inter-insular by 4 runs to end Guernsey's run of wins, but lost the first inter-insular Twenty20 match in September by five wickets.

2018-Present

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Jersey and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status. In September 2018, Jersey qualified from Group B of the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier to the Regional Finals of the tournament. Jersey played their first T20I against Guernsey on 31 May 2019. On 27 March 2023, Jersey played their first ever One Day International (ODI) match, against Canada in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. On 1 April 2023, Jersey recorded their first win in ODIs, beating Papua New Guinea. Josh Lawrenson became the first cricketer for Jersey to score an ODI century (114), and he was followed by Asa Tribe (115 not out). In September 2023, a Jersey team made up of a mixture of senior players and young talents won their group to reach finals week at the T10 European Cricket Championship in Málaga, Spain. Returning for the championship round in October, the team finished sixth. On 7 July 2024, Harrison Carlyon became the first Jersey player to score a century in a T20I when he made 110 off 57 balls against Serbia during the 2024–25 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier at Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, Krefeld, Germany. Jersey went unbeaten throughout the tournament, defeating Norway in the final.
