Cricket in Norway Norway is one of cricket's most northern stations however the game has a solid and developing situation in the country, but most players of the sport are from or descended from South Asia, and the playerbase among Norwegians is low.
The Norwegian Cricket Board became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2000, and the Norway national cricket team played its first international match later that year. Most of the side's matches have been against members of the European Cricket Council (ECC), although in more recent years Norway has fielded sides in the lower divisions of the World Cricket League (WCL).[1] The team's current head coach is Muhammad Haroon, a former first-class player in Pakistan, who was appointed in early 2014.[2] In September 2018, Norway qualified from Group C of the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier[3]
