The Cameroon national cricket team is the men's team that represents Cameroon in international cricket. The team is organised by the Cameroon Cricket Federation, which gained affiliate membership of the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 29 June 2007[6] and became an associate member in 2017.[2] However, the national side did not make its debut until 2011, when it played in the 2011 Africa Division Three tournament in Ghana.[7]

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Cameroon and other ICC members since 1 January 2019 have the full T20I status.[8]
