The Jersey women's cricket team is the team that represents the Crown dependency of Jersey in international women's cricket matches. They became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005, and an associate member in 2007.[4]
History
In 2011 Jersey won the European Women's Cricket Festival hosted in Utrecht, defeating Germany in the final.[5]
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Jersey women and other ICC members after 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.[6] Their first game was against Guernsey on 31 May 2019; Jersey fielded seven players under the age of 15.[7]
In 2023, it was announced Jersey would participate in the qualifying process for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup for the first time, by hosting the Europe Division Two qualifier for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[8]
Development
Jersey Cricket requires increased participation and therefore performance from its teams. In order to achieve this, it continues to develop a sustainable structure that will provide cricket opportunities for all. To meet the needs of its growing player base, Jersey is in need of more trained coaches, umpires, scorers and administrators.[9]
Jersey has put a high priority on developing women's cricket from grass root level to the senior national side. Hiring of Gemma Dunning as female development coach, courtesy Regional funding support in Jersey, has increased participation numbers in the girls' and women's game.[10] Jersey is working closely with Hampshire CCC and the Guernsey Cricket Board in order to offer competitive and fun playing opportunities across all age groups.
