History

In September 2009 Turkey took part in the 2009 European Cricket Championship Division 5 in Corfu, Greece. This was their first international cricket tournament. Turkey recorded their first win in international cricket against Bulgaria[5] during the tournament, although this could not stop them finishing sixth and last.

2018-Present

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between the Turkey and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[6]

Turkey played its first T20I match against Luxembourg on 29 August 2019 during the 2019 Continental Cup in Romania.[7]
