The Russia national cricket team is the team that represents the Russian Federation in international cricket. In 2012, they were officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as an Affiliate member[1] and were therefore entitled to participate in ICC Official events. Since 2017, they became an Associate Member[2] In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Russia and other ICC Members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[3] But in July 2022, because of their continued non-compliance with ICC membership criteria, the ICC terminated Russia of membership in the organization.[4]
