History
Jersey first played international cricket against neighbouring Channel Island of Guernsey in the inaugural annual Inter-insular match in 1950.[5] They won ten of the matches in a row between 1992 and 2001, before a run of five consecutive victories for Guernsey until 2006.[6]
Jersey became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2005,[4] and took part in Division Two of the European Championship in Scotland in 2006, losing to Norway in the final.[7] 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.[8] They were granted associate status at an ICC meeting at Lord's in June.[9]
In August, Jersey won the inter-insular by 4 runs to end Guernsey's run of wins,[10] but lost the first inter-insular Twenty20 match in September by five wickets.[11]
- 2008, Jersey hosted Division Five of the World Cricket League in May. Jersey performed well and topped Group B after the group qualifying matches. Jersey then beat the United States in their semi-final before losing the final to Afghanistan. As Division Five runners-up, Jersey were promoted to Division Four of the World Cricket League.[12]
- 2008, Jersey travelled to neighbours Guernsey in August to take part in Division Two of the European Championship against; Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar and Guernsey. Jersey improved on their 2006 performance, edging out Guernsey by one run in the final group match to win the tournament undefeated.[13]
- 2008, Jersey travelled to Tanzania in October to participate in Division Four of the World Cricket League. Division Four proved to be a step too far for Jersey, as with a series of poor batting displays Jersey won only one group match, before losing to Fiji in a positional playoff and finishing sixth. On the basis of their sixth-place finish in this tournament, Jersey were relegated back to Division Five.[14]
