The Maldives National Men's Cricket Team represents the country of Maldives in international cricket. Although they did not become an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) until 2001,[5] they have taken part in the ACC Trophy on every occasion since its inception in 1996. They have never progressed beyond the first round of the tournament. They became an associate member in 2017.[1]
With the separation of the ACC Trophy into Elite and Challenge divisions, following their performance at the 2006 ACC Trophy, the Maldives competed in the Challenge divisions in both 2009 (when they came 3rd) and in the 2010 competition. The 2010 competition marked their first victory in an international tournament, defeating Saudi Arabia by 1 wicket in the final of the competition.[6]
As of February 2024, Pasindu Liyanaarachichi is the National Men's Coach. Hassan Haziq Rasheed is the National Men's Captain.
