The Mali national cricket team represents Mali in international cricket. The Malian Cricket Federation (FCM) became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2005 and an associate member in 2017.
History
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Mali and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status.
Mali made their T20I debut against Lesotho at the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier.
Playing in the Qualifier A group, they failed to win any matches. Out of their 7 matches, they lost 5, with the other two ending in no-result.
Four years later, they finally won their first match in 18 attempts, defeating Ivory Coast at the 2028 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers.
