The '''Malaysia national cricket team''' represents the country of [[Malaysia]] in [[international cricket]] matches. The team is organised by the [[Malaysian Cricket Association]] which has been an [[List of International Cricket Council members|associate member]] of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) since 1967.<ref name="CAP">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Countries/17.html Malaysia] at CricketArchive</ref><ref name="NZH">{{cite web|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12003708 |title=Cricket: Black Caps to play in Malaysia? |access-date=11 March 2018 |work=New Zealand Herald}}</ref>

During the British colonial period, the [[Federated Malay States cricket team|Federated Malay States]], [[Straits Settlements cricket team|Straits Settlements]] and [[Malaya cricket team]]s played regularly in [[Interport matches]] and against other visiting teams. Following Malaysian independence, the team's most frequent opponent has been [[Singapore national cricket team|Singapore]] in the [[Saudara Cup]] and [[Stan Nagaiah Trophy]]. Malaysia made its debut in ICC tournaments in the inaugural [[1979 ICC Trophy]], making regular appearances until ICC pathways were altered in the 2000s and hosting the [[1997 ICC Trophy]]. Malaysia has regularly hosted [[Asian Cricket Council]] (ACC) tournaments and finished runner-up in the [[1998 ACC Trophy]]. In the [[World Cricket League]] the team reached as high as [[ICC World Cricket League Division Three|Division Three]], subsequently being placed in the [[ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League]].

==History==
===Early days===
Cricket has been played in what is now Malaysia since the 1880s.<ref name="Hist">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketmalaysia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=490|title=Malaysian Cricket Poised on the Cusp|last=Chaturvedi|first=Ravi |year=2013| publisher= [[Malaysian Cricket Association]]|access-date=12 September 2013}}</ref> Various teams represented [[British Malaya|Malaya]], the [[Federated Malay States]] and the [[Straits Settlements]], formed in 1884 by the British, [[Royal Selangor Club]] (RSC) is the first cricket club founded in present Malaysia (locally called a padang also in Singapore e.g. [[Padang, Singapore]]). The [[Singapore Cricket Club]], a former affiliate of the Malayan Cricket Association, is the oldest cricket club in the region (founded in 1852).

The first recorded match was between [[Selangor]] and [[Malacca]] in 1887. The Selangor-Singapore series was played in 1891.
Cricket in Johor was played in the early 20th century, but the first recorded cricketing event is the visit of the Australian team led by [[Charlie Macartney|C. G. Macartney]] in 1927. Penang is another historical cricket venue in Malaysia where cricket has been played from British times. The [[Penang Sports Club]] was established in the early 1900s.
On 6 June 1927 Malaya beat Australia by 39 runs to make history. [[Lall Singh]] became the first Malaysia-born Test player (played for India in their debut Test at [[Lord's]] against England in 1932).

After World War II, cricket grew in popularity, leading to the founding of the [[Malaysian Cricket Association|Malayan Cricket Association]] (MCA) in 1948. Regional cricket associations like Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined and in 1963, the MCA was renamed the Malaysian Cricket Association. In 1965, the  [[Singapore#Independence|independence of Singapore]] led its association to leave the MCA.

The first team to represent Malaysia was in 1970, three years after the MCA became an ICC associate member,<ref name="CAP" /> when it played an [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] side captained by [[Tony Lewis]] in a two-day match, losing by 230 runs.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/97/97140.html Scorecard] of Malaysia v MCC, 7 March 1970 at CricketArchive</ref> The same year, Malaysia played the first [[Saudara Cup]] match against [[Singapore national cricket team|Singapore]], drawing the three-day match.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/122/122562.html Scorecard] of Malaysia v Singapore, 4 September 1970 at CricketArchive</ref>

The Saudara Cup match continued annually, and in 1979 Malaysia participated in the [[1979 ICC Trophy|first ICC Trophy]], failing to progress beyond the first round,<ref name="ICCT79">{{cite web|url=http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT79/|title=ICC TROPHY, 1979: ENGLAND|work=cricinfo.com}}</ref> a performance they repeated in [[1982 ICC Trophy|1982]]<ref name="ICCT82">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT82/ 1982 ICC Trophy] at Cricinfo</ref> and [[1986 ICC Trophy|1986]].<ref name="ICCT86">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT86/ 1986 ICC Trophy] at Cricinfo</ref> They reached the plate competition in [[1990 ICC Trophy|1990]]<ref name="ICCT90">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT90/ 1990 ICC Trophy] at Cricinfo</ref> and [[1994 ICC Trophy|1994]].<ref name="ICCT94">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT94/ 1994 ICC Trophy] at Cricinfo</ref>

===1990s===
The first [[Stan Nagaiah Trophy]] was played in Singapore in February 1995 with Singapore beating Malaysia 2–1 in the three-match one-day series.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/SPORE/1994-95_SPORE_Stan_Nagaiah_Trophy_1994-95.html 1995 Stan Nagaiah Trophy] at CricketArchive</ref> After winning the Stan Nagaiah Trophy<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/MAL/1995-96_MAL_Stan_Nagaiah_Trophy_1995-96.html 1996 Stan Nagaiah Trophy] at CricketArchive</ref> and drawing the Saudara Cup match in 1996<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/122/122588.html Scorecard] of Singapore v Malaysia, 16 August 1996 at CricketArchive</ref> Malaysia hosted the first [[ACC Trophy]] tournament, finishing third in their first round group.<ref name="ACCT96">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEUROPE/DATABASE/1996/TOURNAMENTS/ACCTROPHY/about.shtml 1996 ACC Trophy] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113010741/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEUROPE/DATABASE/1996/TOURNAMENTS/ACCTROPHY/about.shtml |date=13 January 2010 }} at CricketEurope</ref>

Malaysia began to host major international tournaments in 1997, starting with the [[1997 ICC Trophy]] in which Malaysia finished 16th after losing a play-off to [[Namibia national cricket team|Namibia]].<ref name="ICCT97">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/63/63778.html Scorecard] of Malaysia v Namibia, 4 April 1997 at CricketArchive</ref> They played one season in Pakistani domestic cricket in 1998, losing all four of their preliminary round matches.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Events/Tables/Wills_Cup_1997-98.html 1997/98 Wills Cup Points Table] at CricketArchive</ref> Cricket made its first and, to date, only appearance in the [[Commonwealth Games]] later that year, with Malaysia hosting [[1998 Commonwealth Games|that year's games]].
