This page is part of the WikiProject on Cricket and provides a list of matches that have been played at the highest international or domestic level. It is intended to be used as an aid in considering the WP:NCRIC guideline on individual player presumed notability. Presumed notability refers to the player playing in a competition, and not the competition itself. Certain competitions may get good coverage, but that does not always trickle down to the players. For example it's likely the Irish competitions get good coverage, but that doesn't always trickle down to domestic only players. Players with presumed coverage are those the cricket WikiProject believe to have a number of suitable in-depth sources written about them. The presumption of coverage is the belief that sources do exist for those players. Playing in a non-notable tournament doesn't immediately disqualify someone from being notable. Players that have played in tournaments deemed non-notable may still be notable if they can be shown to pass the wider requirements of GNG.

In 2017, the International Cricket Council (ICC) published a document called the "ICC Classification of Official Cricket".^[1] In November 2021, the ICC retrospectively applied first-class and List A status to women's cricket, aligning it with the men's game.^[2][3]

The addition/removal of any competition or matches from this list first need consensus from the Cricket WikiProject before their addition/removal.
