The Israel national cricket team is the team that represents Israel in international cricket. Despite being geographically part of the Middle East, they are members of the European Cricket Council.[4]
They regularly take part in the European Championship, and are currently ranked the 12th best non-Test team in Europe by the International Cricket Council (ICC),[5] having been an associate member of that organisation since 1974.[6]
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Israel and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 hold the T20I status.[7]
