The '''Mumbai Indians''' are a professional [[Twenty20|Twenty20 cricket]] team based in [[Mumbai]], Maharashtra, that competes in the [[Indian Premier League]] (IPL). The Indians were founded in 2008 and are owned by India's largest [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]], [[Reliance Industries]], through its wholly owned [[subsidiary]], Indiawin Sports. Since its establishment, the team has primarily played its home matches at the 33,108-capacity [[Wankhede Stadium]]. It is one of the most successful teams in the IPL.<br />
<br />
In 2017, the Mumbai Indians became the first franchise to cross the [[$]]100&nbsp;million mark in brand value.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/advertising/brand-ipl-gets-stronger-valuation-soars-to-5-3-billion/articleshow/60199993.cms?from=mdr%7Ctitle=Brand%20IPL%20gets%20stronger&from=mdr|title=Brand IPL gets stronger, valuation soars to $5.3&nbsp;billion|last=Laghate|first=Gaurav|date=24 August 2017|work=The Economic Times|access-date=11 April 2018|archive-date=12 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412013328/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/advertising/brand-ipl-gets-stronger-valuation-soars-to-5-3-billion/articleshow/60199993.cms?from=mdr%7Ctitle=Brand%20IPL%20gets%20stronger&from=mdr|url-status=live}}</ref> The brand value of Mumbai Indians in 2019 was estimated around [[₹]]809 [[crore]] ($115&nbsp;million), the highest among all the IPL franchises for the fourth consecutive year.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/ipl-brand-valuation-soars-13-5-to-rs-47500-crore-duff-phelps/articleshow/71197984.cms?from=mdr|title=IPL brand valuation soars 13.5% to Rs 47,500 crore: Duff & Phelps|last=Laghate|first=Gaurav|date=20 September 2019|work=The Economic Times|access-date=22 September 2019|archive-date=18 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201018195002/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/ipl-brand-valuation-soars-13-5-to-rs-47500-crore-duff-phelps/articleshow/71197984.cms?from=mdr|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

Mumbai Indians won the [[2011 Champions League Twenty20]] after beating [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] by 31 runs in the final.

===2008–2009: Struggle in the initial seasons===<br />
<br />
The Indian Premier League named four players as [[icon player]]s for their respective city franchises which made the players unavailable to play for any team other than their city team. [[Sachin Tendulkar]] was named Mumbai's icon player. The icon player was also entitled to earn 15% more than the next-best paid player in their team. At first [[2008 Indian Premier League#Player auctions|player auctions]] for the [[2008 Indian Premier League|inaugural IPL season]] conducted in February 2008, the Mumbai franchise bought several star international cricketers such as [[Sanath Jayasuriya]], [[Harbhajan Singh]], [[Shaun Pollock]], [[Lasith Malinga]] and [[Robin Uthappa]].<ref>{{cite web|title=IPL Auction: Players' worth|url=http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2008/feb/20table.htm|work=rediff.com|access-date=4 June 2013|archive-date=29 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100329115308/http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2008/feb/20table.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The franchise named Sachin Tendulkar as the [https://sportsamaze.com/cricket/news/7-players-who-have-captained-mumbai-indians-in-ipl-history/ captain] of the team and appointed former India cricketer [[Lalchand Rajput]] as the head coach. However, Tendulkar was injured before the start of the 2008 season due to which Harbhajan Singh took over as the captain in the initial stage of the season. The team got off to a bad start in the season, losing their first four games by comprehensive margins. Their first match was a five-wicket defeat to the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] on 20 April 2008 at the [[Wankhede Stadium|Wankhede]]. Their stand-in captain, Harbhajan, was suspended from the tournament for reportedly [[Harbhajan Singh#Altercations with Andrew Symonds and Sreesanth|slapping Sreesanth]] during Mumbai's league match against [[Kings XI Punjab]]. After Harbhajan's suspension, Shaun Pollock assumed leadership duties until Tendulkar's return on 24 May. Under Pollock's captaincy, Mumbai won six out of their next six games, which left them needing to win two more out of the remaining four matches to qualify for the semi-finals. Mumbai had three last-over defeats in the next three games, including two off the last ball, before winning their last league match. They finished fifth in the points table with 7 wins and 7 losses, missing out on a semi-final spot by just one point.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Premier League, 2007/08 / Points table|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html?view=pointstable|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=4 June 2013|archive-date=27 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627065532/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html?view=pointstable|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

The [[2009 Indian Premier League|2009 season]] was played in South Africa as it coincided with multi-phase [[2009 Indian general election]]s due to which the [[Government of India]] refused to commit the [[Paramilitary forces of India|Indian paramilitary forces]] to provide security for the IPL. Before the start of the season, Mumbai Indians traded [[Robin Uthappa]] for [[Zaheer Khan]] with Royal Challengers Bangalore, and [[Ashish Nehra]] for [[Shikhar Dhawan]] with the [[Delhi Daredevils]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=PTI|date=17 January 2009|title=Mumbai Indians swap Nehra for Dhawan of Delhi Daredevils|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/latest-headlines/story/mumbai-indians-swap-nehra-for-dhawan-of-delhi-daredevils-37508-2009-01-17|access-date=3 September 2020|work=India Today|language=en|archive-date=4 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004213108/https://www.indiatoday.in/latest-headlines/story/mumbai-indians-swap-nehra-for-dhawan-of-delhi-daredevils-37508-2009-01-17|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Shaun Pollock]] retired after the first season and became the head coach of the team. [[Lasith Malinga]], who missed the previous season due to an injury, returned to the team. At the [[List of 2009 Indian Premier League personnel changes#Auction|player auction]], Mumbai bought South African batsman [[JP Duminy]] to strengthen their batting department. After winning their opening match against the [[Chennai Super Kings]], Mumbai struggled to put up consistent performances during the season. They relied heavily on [[JP Duminy|Duminy]] and Tendulkar's batting, and [[Lasith Malinga|Malinga]]'s bowling, along with minimal contributions from other players. With only five wins from 14 matches, Mumbai finished on seventh place in the league table.<br />
<br />

[[File:Lasith Malinga signing.jpg|thumb|[[Lasith Malinga]] is the leading wicket-taker for MI in IPL with 150 wickets since its inception.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lasith Malinga becomes first to reach 150 IPL wickets|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/ipl-2017-10/lasith-malinga-becomes-first-to-reach-150-ipl-wickets-4644137/|website=The Indian Express|date=7 May 2017|access-date=7 May 2017|archive-date=10 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170510095006/http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/ipl-2017-10/lasith-malinga-becomes-first-to-reach-150-ipl-wickets-4644137/|url-status=live}}</ref>]]<br />
<br />
At the [[List of 2010 Indian Premier League personnel changes#auction|2010 players auction]], Mumbai Indians bought Trinidadian all-rounder [[Kieron Pollard]] for $750,000 following a secret tiebreaker. After the auction, they signed up ten uncapped Indian players out of whom seven were former [[Indian Cricket League|ICL]] players. Former India cricketer [[Robin Singh (cricketer, born 1963)|Robin Singh]] was named as the head coach of the team as Pollock took up the role of bowling coach. Mumbai had to shift their home venue to [[Brabourne Stadium]] for the season since the Wankhede was undergoing renovation to host some matches of the [[2011 ICC Cricket World Cup]]. Mumbai won seven of their first eight games to take the top spot in the points table. Their success was mainly due to the efforts of Tendulkar, Malinga, Harbhajan, [[Ambati Rayudu]] and [[Saurabh Tiwary]]. They won three of the remaining six league games and finished with 20 points from 14 games at the top of the points table. They beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs in the semi-final, thanks to Pollard's all-round efforts (33* from 13 balls and 3/17). At the final, they were defeated by the Chennai Super Kings by 22 runs. The Mumbai team management was criticised for the "strategic errors" during the final, such as sending [[Abhishek Nayar]] and Harbhajan at batting positions 3 and 4 respectively, while Duminy and Pollard were sent at 7 and 8. Mumbai skipper Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 618 runs at an average of 47.53 and strike rate of 132.6, won the Orange Cap for scoring most runs in the season. Mumbai qualified for the [[2010 Champions League Twenty20]] where they were eliminated in the group stage with two wins and two defeats in four matches.<br />
<br />
In [[2011 Indian Premier League|2011]], with the addition of two new teams to the IPL, the IPL Governing Council declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their 2010 squad, and the rest of the international players would be auctioned. Mumbai Indians retained Tendulkar, Harbhajan, Pollard and Malinga for a sum of $4.5&nbsp;million. This retention left the franchise with the power of spending $4.5&nbsp;million at the [[List of 2011 Indian Premier League personnel changes#auction|auction]], where they purchased Indian batsman [[Rohit Sharma]] for $2&nbsp;million, former Australian all-rounder [[Andrew Symonds]] for $850,000, and pacer [[Munaf Patel]] for $700,000. Mumbai won eight of their first ten league games, but later experienced a loss of form that led to three consecutive defeats and a last-ball win in their last league match. They finished third on the points table with 18 points from 14 games and qualified for the Eliminator. The Eliminator was played at the Wankhede where Mumbai faced the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]]. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Mumbai restricted Kolkata to 147 in 20 overs and chased down the target for the loss of six wickets with four balls to spare. Munaf Patel won the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 3/27. With this win, Mumbai qualified for the Qualifying final against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the winner of which would play the Super Kings in the final. Mumbai skipper Tendulkar won the toss again and put their opposition into bat who set Mumbai a target of 186. Mumbai lost wickets at regular intervals from the start of their innings and scored only 142/8, falling short by 43 runs. The top two leading wicket-takers of the season were Mumbai Indians pacers Lasith Malinga and Munaf Patel with 28 and 22 wickets respectively.<br />
<br />
Mumbai qualified for the [[2011 Champions League Twenty20]] held in India. Before the start of the tournament, six first-choice Indian players in the Mumbai squad, including Tendulkar, Sharma and Patel, were ruled out of the tournament due to injuries, and two more Indian players were ruled out based on medical reports. This left their 14-member squad with only six Indian players, while the tournament allowed a maximum of four overseas players and minimum of seven local players in the playing eleven. An exception was made for the Mumbai Indians, which permitted them to field five overseas players during the tournament. Harbhajan was named the stand-in captain in the absence of Tendulkar. Mumbai was placed in Group A alongside Chennai Super Kings, [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales Blues]], [[Cape Cobras]] and [[Trinidad and Tobago national cricket team|Trinidad & Tobago]]. Mumbai had two wins, one defeat and one no result in the group stage, which gave them second place on the group points table with five points. They qualified for the semi-final and Mumbai batsman [[Suryakumar Yadav]] returned to the squad after recovering from his injury. This led to the withdrawal of the concession given by the Champions League for the Mumbai Indians to field five overseas players. Mumbai faced [[Somerset County Cricket Club]] in the semi-final at Chennai. Batting first, Mumbai made 160/5 in 20 overs. Somerset's chase was dented by Malinga who picked four wickets for 20 (all [[bowled]]) to help Mumbai restrict Somerset to 150 and win the match by 10 runs. The final was also played in Chennai where Mumbai met Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai batted first and managed only 139 in 20 overs. Bangalore started strongly in the run-chase, putting 38 for the first wicket before Malinga broke the partnership. Harbhajan then picked up the key wickets of [[Chris Gayle]] and [[Virat Kohli]], triggering a batting collapse, and eventually Bangalore were bowled out for 108, giving Mumbai a 31-run victory and their first-ever title. Harbhajan was named player of the match, and Malinga won the man of the tournament award. Andrew Symonds retired from all forms of cricket in early 2012.<br />
<br />
Before the start of the [[2012 Indian Premier League|2012 season]], the Mumbai Indians traded [[Dinesh Karthik]] from Kings XI Punjab and [[Pragyan Ojha]] from the [[Deccan Chargers]] for undisclosed sums. At the [[List of 2012 Indian Premier League personnel changes#Auction|auction]], the franchise bought five players, including [[R. P. Singh]], [[Thisara Perera]] (both for $600,000) and [[Mitchell Johnson (cricketer)|Mitchell Johnson]]. Tendulkar stepped down from captaincy hours before the season's first game following which Harbhajan was appointed as the captain. In the first half of the league stage, Mumbai had four wins and four defeats, including three losses at home. Mumbai did not have a fixed opening combination, with Tendulkar missing out four matches due to an injury and other opening batsmen failing to show consistency. Johnson was ruled out of the rest of the season in late April with an injury and [[Dwayne Smith]] was named his replacement in the squad. Mumbai fared better in the second half of the league stage, winning six of their eight matches. They finished third on the points table with 20 points from 16 matches and qualified for the Eliminator against the fourth-placed Chennai Super Kings at Bangalore. Mumbai won the toss and put Chennai in to bat first. After losing two wickets inside the first two overs, Chennai managed to put up 187/5 in 20 overs mainly because of their captain [[MS Dhoni]]'s unbeaten 20-ball 51. Mumbai's chase had started solidly with the score reading 47/0 in the fifth over, before they started losing wickets at regular intervals to end at 149/9 and lose the match by 38 runs. They gained direct qualification to the [[2012 Champions League Twenty20]] in South Africa, along with the three IPL teams that finished at the top that season. Mumbai, placed in Group B, was winless in the tournament with three defeats and one no result.<br />

[[File:Rohit Sharma fielding.jpg|thumb|left|[[Rohit Sharma]] became the captain of Mumbai Indians in 2013 and has since led them to five IPL titles.]]<br />
The [[2013 IPL]] saw [[Anil Kumble]] being appointed as the chief mentor after he quit a similar position from [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]]. Due to a slump in batting form of [[Ricky Ponting]], he was eventually dropped from the playing eleven and Rohit Sharma took over the leadership of the team. With the experienced advice of Anil Kumble, Jonty Rhodes and Sachin Tendulkar, the team emerged victorious in IPL 2013. <br />
<br />
In 2013, Mumbai Indians started off by losing against the Royal Challengers Bangalore due to the efforts of Chris Gayle and pace bowler [[Vinay Kumar]]. However, they were able to make a comeback in that match because of Dinesh Karthik, and Mumbai lost by just one run. In the second match against the [[Chennai Super Kings]], the openers were dismissed but due to the efforts of Dinesh Karthik and Kieron Pollard, Mumbai managed to put a defendable score on the board. The Mumbai Indians bowlers started off well by dismissing [[Murali Vijay]] and the match went till the last over. The Super Kings needed 16 runs off the last over with MS Dhoni on strike and [[Munaf Patel]] to bowl; Patel dismissed Dhoni on the first ball and Mumbai won the match comfortably by 9 runs. In their third match against the [[Delhi Daredevils]], Mumbai once again lost their openers Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar. Dinesh Karthik again brought the match within Mumbai's grasp, with the help of Rohit Sharma, which helped the Mumbai Indians reach the formidable score of 209/5. At one stage, it looked like [[David Warner (cricketer)|David Warner]] would snatch the game away from Mumbai, but the Mumbai Indians bowlers dismissed him. The [[Delhi Daredevils]] then collapsed, allowing the Mumbai Indians to win comfortably by 44 runs. In the next match against the [[Pune Warriors India]], Mumbai got off to a flying start with a 54-run opening stand between the so-called Pon-dulkar (Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar). This was followed by a strong performance from Rohit Sharma due to which Mumbai scored 183/3 and won the match comfortably by 41 runs. In the next match against the [[Rajasthan Royals]], Mumbai was bundled out for just 92, giving the Rajasthan Royals an 83-run victory. As a result, [[Ricky Ponting]] stepped down as the captain and retired from all forms of cricket. With Rohit Sharma in good batting form, he was made the captain. Under his captaincy, the Mumbai Indians improved substantially and won their first IPL title.<br />
<br />
They continued their winning streak in the Champions League Twenty20. However, they had a slow start in the tournament and had to win their final match of the league stage against the [[Perth Scorchers]] by a margin. They did it by the combined efforts of [[Nathan Coulter-Nile]], Dwayne Smith and skipper Rohit Sharma. In the final, [[Glenn Maxwell]] scored a quickfire 14-ball 37. Mumbai posted 202/6 and won the match comfortably by 33 runs.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Rajasthan Royals 169 vs Mumbai Indians 202/6. Final.

<br />
=== 2014–2020: Dominance ===<br />
[[2014 Indian Premier League|In 2014]], Mumbai Indians lost five of their early matches in the UAE leg against [[Kolkata Knight Riders]], [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]], [[Chennai Super Kings]] and [[Delhi Daredevils]] by big margins. They did well in their 5th match against [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] but consequently lost the matches against their respective opponents.<br />
<br />
In the Indian leg, they made a comeback by beating [[Kings XI Punjab]] who were at the top of the table at that time. After that, they were inconsistent with their performance. They won against [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] but lost against [[Chennai Super Kings]]. They won against the [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] but again lost against [[Kolkata Knight Riders]]. But after losing against the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]], they won against [[Kings XI Punjab]] and the [[Delhi Daredevils]] respectively.<br />
<br />
In the match against [[Kings XI Punjab]], [[Lendl Simmons]] scored a hundred due to which they won comfortably by seven wickets.<br />
<br />
With one game left to play, Mumbai Indians were fifth in the table with 12 points. In the last league-stage match of the season against [[Rajasthan Royals]], who were fourth in the league table with 14 points, Mumbai needed to win by a big margin to leapfrog them and secure the fourth playoff spot. Rajasthan Royals set a target of 190 runs. Mumbai Indians had to reach the target in 14.3 overs in order to improve the net run rate and claim the fourth position in the table, but they just managed a tie with the [[Rajasthan Royals]] in 14.3 overs. So, the Mumbai Indians needed a boundary off the next ball to push Rajasthan Royals below and claim that fourth spot. [[Aditya Tare]] hit a six to a full toss bowled by [[James Faulkner (cricketer)|James Faulkner]]. Due to that six, they reached the play-offs of the IPL but lost against the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in the eliminator, which ended their IPL 2014 campaign.<br />
<br />
The Mumbai Indians qualified for the qualifier round of the CLT20 2014. Due to injury to their skipper Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard was named as their captain.<br />
<br />
In the first match, they faced the FBT20 2014 champions [[Lahore Lions]] but lost against them, with Lahore Lions winning by 6 wickets in 18.4 overs. In the second match, they faced the [[Southern Express (cricket team)|Southern Express]], who had a slow start and lost wickets regularly but managed to score 161/6 in 20 overs. The Mumbai Indians started off with an excellent opening partnership of 139 runs in just 14 overs. They lost their first wicket on the 4th ball of the 15th over, but skipper Kieron Pollard finished in a blistering way, scoring 20 runs from just 7 balls. But in the last match against the [[Northern Districts men's cricket team|Northern Knights]], they managed to score only 132 runs. Northern Knights comfortably chased down the target, winning by 6 wickets with 16 balls to spare. In this way, Mumbai's CLT20 2014 campaign ended.<br />
<br />
Mumbai Indians won their second IPL title [[2015 Indian Premier League|in 2015]] after they defeated Chennai Super Kings by 41 runs. They started the season with 4 IPL defeats mainly due to their bowling. They lost [[Aaron Finch]] and [[Corey Anderson (cricketer)|Corey Anderson]] due to injury for the rest of the season, which meant [[Lendl Simmons]] got a chance back into the team. With the help of 6 half-centuries, he gave the team solid starts throughout the season. He was the top scorer for Mumbai with 540 runs and joint second (with [[Ajinkya Rahane]]) in total for the season behind David Warner. The introduction of another strike bowler, [[Mitchell McClenaghan]], in the team provided good support to Lasith Malinga upfront. Mumbai went on to win 9 out of their last 10 matches to win the title, thanks to solid batting performances from Simmons, Rohit Sharma, [[Ambati Rayudu]] and Kieron Pollard, and good bowling from Malinga, McClenaghan and Harbhajan Singh.<br />
<br />
In the [[Vivo IPL 2016|IPL 2016]] Auction, Mumbai Indians bought [[Tim Southee]], [[Nathu Singh (cricketer)|Nathu Singh]], [[Jos Buttler]], [[Jitesh Sharma]], KP Kamath, [[Krunal Pandya]] and [[Deepak Punia (cricketer)|Deepak Punia]]. They finished the season in the fifth spot in the points table.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hardik Pandya scored 91 runs off 34 balls against [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] and made the fastest 50 off 17 balls in that match.<br />
<br />
[[Alzarri Joseph]] recorded the best bowling figures (6/12) in the IPL history in the match against [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]], which was also his IPL debut.<br />
<br />
In [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] auction 2020, Mumbai Indians added six new players to the squad: [[Chris Lynn]] (₹20&nbsp;million), [[Nathan Coulter-Nile]] (₹80&nbsp;million), [[Saurabh Tiwary]] (₹5&nbsp;million), Mohsin Khan (₹2&nbsp;million), Digvijay Deshmukh (₹2&nbsp;million), and Balwant Rai Singh (₹2&nbsp;million).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/mi-players-2020-complete-list-of-mumbai-indians-players-for-ipl-2020/articleshow/72891997.cms|title=MI Players 2020: Complete list of Mumbai Indians players for IPL 2020 - Times of India|website=The Times of India|date=20 December 2019|access-date=28 December 2019|archive-date=28 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191228061802/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/mi-players-2020-complete-list-of-mumbai-indians-players-for-ipl-2020/articleshow/72891997.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2020, the matches were played in the UAE due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in India. Despite having a strong team, Mumbai Indians were underrated due to their past records in the UAE and a superstition about winning titles in odd years. However, Mumbai Indians emerged as the season's most successful team, and clinched their fifth title.<br />
<br />
=== 2021–present: Struggles ===<br />
Before the 2021 Auction, Mumbai Indians released [[Mitchell McClenaghan]], [[Sherfane Rutherford]], Digvijay Deshmukh, Prince Balwant Rai Singh, [[James Pattinson]] and [[Nathan Coulter-Nile]].<br />
<br />
In the 2021 Auction, Mumbai Indians got back Nathan Coulter-Nile (₹50 million), [[Adam Milne]] (₹32 million), [[Piyush Chawla]] (₹24 million), [[Marco Jansen]] (₹2 million), [[James Neesham]] (₹5 million), [[Arjun Tendulkar]] (₹2 million), and Yudhvir Singh Charak (₹2 million).<br />
<br />
In the initial matches, Mumbai Indians struggled on the slow pitch of Chennai which was one of the neutral venues for IPL 2021. They lost 3 out of their first 5 games. The main reason was the failure of their lower middle order. However, Mumbai Indians won their next two games, with the middle order showing some improvement and making crucial contributions to secure the victories.<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL 2021, MI vs PBKS: Mumbai's Lower Middle-order fails again |url=https://criketon.in/ipl-2021/ipl-2021-mi-vs-pbks-match-classy-kl-rahul/ |website=CriketON |access-date=24 April 2021 |archive-date=24 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210424140723/https://criketon.in/ipl-2021/ipl-2021-mi-vs-pbks-match-classy-kl-rahul/ |url-status=live }}</ref> They eventually ended the season at the fifth spot.<br />
<br />
In 2022, two new teams were introduced. Ahead of 2022 IPL mega auctions, the team retained four players: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav. They left Hardik Pandya who was one of their core players for a long time. In the mega auctions, they purchased back Ishan Kishan for a hefty sum of ₹15.25 crore, which is the second highest bid for an Indian player till date.<br />
<br />
They lost their first eight matches of the seasons, the worst in the history of the IPL. They ended the tournament with 4 wins out of 14 matches, making the 15th season as their worst by finishing at the bottom of the points table.<br />
<br />
The 2023 season was a topsy-turvy one for the Mumbai Indians. With their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah sidelined due to injury, the pace attack was led by English spearhead Jofra Archer and consisted of several domestic bowlers, including purchases from the 2023 auction. Despite a slow start, losing 2 out of their first 3 matches, the tournament saw Mumbai Indians rally back with solid performances from emerging bowler Akash Madhval and young talent Tilak Varma. The Mumbai Indians qualified for the playoffs, securing the 4th spot with 8 wins and 6 losses. After eliminating the Lucknow Super Giants during the Eliminator, the Mumbai Indians went on to lose to the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 to end their season.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/mi-vs-gt-live-score-gujarat-titans-vs-mumbai-indians-ipl-2023-qualifier-2-live-updates/liveblog/100528546.cms | title=GT vs MI Highlights, IPL 2023 Qualifier 2: Gujarat Titans blow away Mumbai Indians to set up final with Chennai Super Kings | website=[[The Times of India]] | date=28 May 2023 | access-date=20 October 2023 | archive-date=27 November 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231127160458/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/mi-vs-gt-live-score-gujarat-titans-vs-mumbai-indians-ipl-2023-qualifier-2-live-updates/liveblog/100528546.cms | url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
The 2024 season saw the homecoming of one of their core players, [[Hardik Pandya]]. He was made captain after much controversy over replacing their previous skipper, Rohit Sharma.<ref>{{Cite news |date=26 March 2024 |title=Watch - 'Unreal humiliation': Hardik Pandya faces a massive backlash from fans |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/watch-unreal-humiliation-hardik-pandya-faces-a-massive-backlash-from-fans/articleshow/108767860.cms#:~:text=From%20fans,%20commentators,%20to%20cricket,the%20skipper%20of%20Mumbai%20Indians. |access-date=15 July 2024 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Due to the massive fan split over the captaincy change and the team's disjointed performance, Mumbai finished the season in last place with only 4 wins.<br />
<br />
In 2025, Mumbai Indians dominated with 6 wins in a row, but their streak ended when they lost to Gujarat Titans on DLS Method by 3 wickets (0 balls left). Despite the loss, Mumbai finished 4th in the League Stage with 8 wins and 6 losses. In the Eliminator, they won against Gujarat Titans by 20 runs but they lost to Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, ending their hopes for a sixth title in 2025. However, Suryakumar Yadav finished second place in the race for the Orange Cap with 717 runs scored, second only to Sai Sudharsan (Gujarat Titans), who scored 759 runs. Suryakumar Yadav was the MVP and Player of the Tournament for that season.<br />

In the 2009 player auction, the Mumbai Indians signed up South African player JP Duminy for $950,000. He was the third most expensive pick after [[Kevin Pietersen]] and [[Andrew Flintoff]] (both signed up for $1.55&nbsp;million by [[Bangalore Royal Challengers|Royal Challengers Bangalore]] and [[Chennai Super Kings]] respectively). In addition, the MI management bought [[Kyle Mills]] for $150,000 and [[Mohammad Ashraful]] for $75,000. The team also signed [[Graham Napier]] and [[Ryan McLaren]] at the pre-auction signings.<br />

In the [[IPL 2010]], Mumbai Indians bought West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard for $750,000 ($2,750,000) after a silent tie-breaker with Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders.

The Mumbai franchise, keen to have the same set of core players, retained captain Sachin Tendulkar, vice-captain Harbhajan Singh, all-rounder Kieron Pollard and fast bowler Lasith Malinga for a total of $4.5&nbsp;million. The retention left them with the power of spending only $4.5&nbsp;million at the mega-auction.

<br />
=== Rivalry with Kolkata Knight Riders ===<br />
Both teams play in major markets, with Mumbai Indians based in [[Mumbai]] and Kolkata Knight Riders based in [[Kolkata]]. Mumbai Indians is the most successful IPL franchise with five championships. However, until Mumbai's third championship, both teams were tied with two championships each. In the first two seasons of the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]], Mumbai swept Kolkata in all four games. It wasn't until the [[2010 IPL|2010 IPL season]] that Kolkata won against Mumbai. Both sides have been captained by Indian cricket legends at one point (Mumbai was captained by [[Sachin Tendulkar]] and Kolkata was captained by [[Sourav Ganguly]]). This rivalry has often played out in Mumbai's favour, as they have won 22 games compared to Kolkata's seven wins. They have faced each other twice in the playoffs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kolkata Knight Riders v Mumbai Indians : Head-to-head : T20R |url=http://bigbashboard.com/head-to-head/kolkata-knight-riders/mumbai-indians |website=T20R : Twenty20 Statistics and Player Rankings |access-date=18 October 2022 |archive-date=29 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629072028/http://bigbashboard.com/head-to-head/kolkata-knight-riders/mumbai-indians |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2011, both teams played against each other in the Eliminator round, marking their first playoff appearances. This was the first time that the two teams met in the playoffs. Mumbai won the match by four wickets and advanced to the next round, ultimately losing to the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]].<br />
<br />
In 2012, both teams were chasing a playoff spot in the tournament. The game started poorly for KKR as their batting side struggled to score runs. However, KKR picked up the pace and ended the innings with 140/7. Mumbai, initially in a strong position at 60/2 with more than 10 overs left, unexpectedly collapsed, finishing their innings at 108 all out. [[Sunil Narine]] was named Man of the Match with 4 wickets, and KKR eliminated MI from the playoffs. KKR won its first championship that season. Knight Riders' owner [[Shah Rukh Khan]] was handed a 5-year ban at [[Wankhede Stadium]], the home ground of Mumbai Indians. He was accused of walking on the field post-match and abusing the security guards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shah Rukh Khan gets five-year ban from Wankhede. |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/indian-premier-league-2012-mca-bans-shah-rukh-khan-from-entering-wankhede-for-five-years-565312 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=10 February 2023 |archive-date=10 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230210051033/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/indian-premier-league-2012-mca-bans-shah-rukh-khan-from-entering-wankhede-for-five-years-565312 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2015, the ban was lifted.<ref>{{Cite news |title=MCA ends Shah Rukh Khan's Wankhede ban. undefined News - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/MCA-ends-Shah-Rukh-Khans-Wankhede-ban/articleshow/48316239.cms |website=The Times of India |date=2 August 2015 |access-date=18 October 2022 |archive-date=18 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200518205225/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/MCA-ends-Shah-Rukh-Khans-Wankhede-ban/articleshow/48316239.cms |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
Mumbai and Kolkata faced off in the opening match of the 2015 season. Mumbai batted first and scored 168/3. This charge was led by captain [[Rohit Sharma]] with his 98 runs. Kolkata captain [[Gautam Gambhir]] scored 57 runs, leading his side to victory. [[Suryakumar Yadav]]'s 46 runs were crucial to KKR's chase.<br />
<br />
In 2017, Mumbai earned its 100th T20 win against KKR.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Basu |first=Ritayan |date=14 May 2017 |title=Mumbai Indians create history, become first T20 team to win 100 matches |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/indian-premier-league-2017/news/story/ipl-2017-kkr-vs-mi-mumbai-indians-100-wins-t20-cricket-976927-2017-05-14 |magazine=India Today |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=7 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220207214146/https://www.indiatoday.in/indian-premier-league-2017/news/story/ipl-2017-kkr-vs-mi-mumbai-indians-100-wins-t20-cricket-976927-2017-05-14 |url-status=live }}</ref> Later that season, both sides faced each other in the playoffs in the Qualifier 2 round.

From 2015 to 2018, Mumbai Indians held an eight-game winning streak against the Kolkata Knight Riders. That streak was broken on 29 April 2019, when KKR posted a total of 232 runs and won by 34 runs. KKR's [[Andre Russell]] scored 80 runs, and MI's [[Hardik Pandya]] scored 91 runs. KKR holds the record for highest total for an IPL match played at [[Eden Gardens]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Premier League Cricket Team Records & Stats. |url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/engine/records/team/highest_innings_totals.html?id=117&type=trophy |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=18 October 2022 |archive-date=28 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240528122027/https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/trophy/team-highest-innings-totals/indian-premier-league-117 |url-status=live }}</ref> This victory was KKR's 100th T20 win.<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 April 2019 |title=IPL 2019: Kolkata Knight Riders register 100th T20 win |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/ipl/ipl-2019-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-register-100-t20-wins-5673196/ |access-date=18 October 2022 |archive-date=23 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123035736/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/ipl/ipl-2019-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-register-100-t20-wins-5673196/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Mumbai have won all three games between them since then.<br />

==Philanthropy==<br />
[[File:Mumbai Indians Supports Education for All.jpg|thumb|Mumbai Indians invited children of the NGOs to watch matches for free.]]<br />
<br />
Mumbai Indians have supported the social cause of education to the underprivileged. They have raised funds for the cause via selling merchandise like wristbands signed by their players. The NGOs supported are Pratham, Ummeed, Akanksha, Teach For India and Nanhi Kali.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-05/people/28277139_1_nita-ambani-mumbai-indians-underprivileged-kids |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527091632/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-05/people/28277139_1_nita-ambani-mumbai-indians-underprivileged-kids |url-status=dead |archive-date=27 May 2013 |title=6 for education! |date=5 July 2010 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=20 March 2012}}</ref><br />

'''Collin Benjamin''' (born 3 August 1978) is a Namibian professional [[Association football|football]] coach and a former player who played as a [[midfielder]]. He is the head coach of the [[Namibia national football team]]. He spent most of his professional career with [[Hamburger SV]] while representing [[Namibia national football team|Namibia]] at international level.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.kicker.de/collin-benjamin/spieler/bundesliga/2009-10/hamburger-sv | title = Benjamin, Collin | language = German | publisher = [[Kicker (magazine)|Kicker]] | access-date = 30 October 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
Benjamin represented Namibia at the [[2008 African Cup of Nations]], earning 32 caps; he captained the team for several years. Benjamin was known for his speed and was mainly used for wing play as a defender.<br />
<br />
He was named as the head coach of the [[Namibia national football team|Namibia national team]] in June 2022, succeeding [[Bobby Samaria]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.namibian.com.na/113403/read/Benjamin-appointed-Namibia-coach | title=Benjamin appointed Namibia coach | access-date=15 June 2022 | archive-date=11 March 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311160320/https://www.namibian.com.na/113403/read/Benjamin-appointed-Namibia-coach | url-status=dead }}</ref>{{cite web | author=Shina Oludare| title=Collin Benjamin: Ex- Hamburger SV defender named as new Namibia coach | website=Goal.com | date=15 June 2022 | url=https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/collin-benjamin-ex-hamburger-sv-defender-named-as-new-namibia-coach/blt2a027020885afd5a | access-date=2 January 2024}}<br />
<br />
After his 10 years at Hamburg Benjamin ended his playing career in Germany at 1860 Munich, where he then spent time in the club's coaching set-up.<br />
<br />
Benjamin, who won 41 caps for Namibia and captained his country, said he was up to the "daunting" challenge of coaching the Brave Warriors - but would require "resources to accomplish the task ahead" of him.<br />
<br />
Namibia began their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a 1–1 draw against Burundi in neutral Johannesburg earlier in June 2022.<br />
<br />
In 2024, Benjamin led Namibia Brave warriors to its first victory record and reaching round of 16 after 26 years in the AFCON 2023 Cup of Nation in the Ivory Coast.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schutz |first=Helge |date=2024-02-01 |title=History makers return home |url=https://www.namibian.com.na/history-makers-return-home/ |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=The Namibian |language=en-GB}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Honours==<br />
* [[DFB-Ligapokal]] winner: 2003<br />
<br />
Aside from representing Hamburg and 1860 Munich during his active days, Benjamin remains the only Namibian to play in the Uefa Champions League.<br />

The '''Brunei national football team''' ({{Langx|ms|Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Brunei}}; recognised as '''Brunei Darussalam''' by [[FIFA]]<ref>{{Cite web|date=|title=Brunei Darussalam|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/BRU|access-date=|website=fifa.com|language=en|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202090130/https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/BRU|url-status=live}}</ref>), nicknamed ''Tebuan'' (The Wasps), is the [[National sports team|national team]] of [[Brunei]], controlled by the [[Football Association of Brunei Darussalam]]. The team was founded in 1959 and joined [[FIFA]] in 1969. In the past, they have also frequently featured in the Malaysian league and cup competitions as [[Brunei M-League Team|one of the state representative sides]].<br />
<br />
The [[Brunei Football Association|Brunei State Football Amateur Association]] was formed on 15 March 1956. In 1993, the word "Amateur" was dropped, and they were known as the Brunei Football Association. Brunei's experience of international football has been more or less restricted to regional Asian competitions, such as the [[Southeast Asian Games]] and the [[AFF Championship]]. So far, Brunei has entered the [[FIFA World Cup qualification|FIFA World Cup qualifiers]] only four times, in [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]], [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]], [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018]] and [[2022 FIFA World Cup|2022]].

=== Home stadium ===<br />
Brunei's home stadium is the [[Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium]] in [[Bandar Seri Begawan]]. The stadium capacity is 28,000. From 2021 to 2022, Brunei used the [[Track and Field Sports Complex, Bandar Seri Begawan|Track & Field Sports Complex]] as an alternative stadium as their main stadium went for a renovation works for improvement however as the Track & Field Sports Complex does not meet the required standards, Brunei chose the [[Kuala Lumpur Stadium]] in [[Malaysia]] as their home ground for their [[2022 AFF Championship]] matches.<br />

The '''Macau national football team''' ({{zh|t=澳門足球代表隊}}; {{langx|pt|Selecção Macaense de Futebol}}) represents the [[Special administrative region of the People's Republic of China|Chinese special administrative region]] of [[Macau]] in international association football. The team is supervised by the [[Macau Football Association]] ({{zh|t=澳門足球總會}}; Portuguese: ''Associação de Futebol de Macau'').

He was subsequently picked for the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]].

==History==<br />
<br />
Germany became an affiliate member of the [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] in 1991.<ref name="CAP" /> As West Germany, the country had played its first internationals in 1989, a two-match series against [[Denmark national cricket team|Denmark]]. The team made its international tournament debut in 1990, at the European Cricketer Cup in [[Guernsey]].<ref name="wg"/> They hosted that tournament (which had been renamed the European Nations Cup) in 1996, playing against [[France national cricket team|France]], [[Portugal national cricket team|Portugal]], and [[Sweden national cricket team|Sweden]],<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/GERMANY/1996_GERMANY_European_Nations_Cup_1996.html 1996 European Nations Cup] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724065055/http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/GERMANY/1996_GERMANY_European_Nations_Cup_1996.html |date=24 July 2008 }} at Cricket Archive</ref> and finished as runners up in the 1997 tournament after losing to [[France national cricket team|France]] by one run in the final, the winning run being scored by David Bordes whilst he had a [[skull fracture]].<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/102/102049.html Scorecard] of France v Germany, 23 August 1997</ref> The [[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]] later listed the final as one of the 100 best matches of the 20th century.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2008-07-10|title=A hundred matches of the century|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153390.html|access-date=2022-02-21|website=Cricinfo}}</ref><br />

The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy was scheduled to take place in the 2008–09 season in Pakistan, but because of an unstable security situation, it was rescheduled for the 2009–10 season. The hosting rights were also moved from Pakistan to South Africa. Sri Lanka was considered as a potential host, but was discarded due to worries related to the weather during that time of the year in Sri Lanka.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/397737.html|title=South Africa confirmed as Champions Trophy hosts|publisher=[[Cricinfo]]|access-date=20 July 2009}}</ref><br />

The '''Kuwait national football team''' ({{langx|ar|منتخب الكويت لكرة القدم|translit=muntakhab alkuayt likurat alqadam}}) represents [[Kuwait]] in international [[Association football|football]] and it is controlled by the [[Kuwait Football Association]]. Kuwait made its only [[FIFA World Cup]] appearance in [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]] and managed to get one draw in the group stage against [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]]. In the [[AFC Asian Cup]], [[Kuwait]] reached the final in [[1976 AFC Asian Cup|1976]] and won the tournament four years later in [[1980 AFC Asian Cup|1980]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Asia's greatest national teams: Kuwait (1980s) {{!}} Football News {{!}} Asian Qualifiers 2022|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/asia-s-greatest-national-teams-kuwait-1980s|access-date=2020-06-09|website=the-AFC|language=en-GB|archive-date=2020-06-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200609051221/https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/asia-s-greatest-national-teams-kuwait-1980s|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Kuwait national football team has faced multiple suspensions by [[FIFA]] due to governmental interference and failure to comply with regulations, notably in 2007, 2008, and 2015. These suspensions, which were later lifted after legal reforms, caused the team to miss major tournaments, including the [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)|2018 FIFA World Cup]] and [[2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification|2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers]], and led to a significant drop in the country's [[FIFA Men's World Ranking|FIFA World Rankings]]. In 2017, following the lifting of its suspension, Kuwait hosted the [[23rd Arabian Gulf Cup|Gulf Cup]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Early successes===<br />
Kuwait's first international match at the [[1961 Arab Games]] against [[Libya national football team|Libya]] ended in a 2–2 draw. Their main losses were 8–0 defeats to both the [[Egypt national football team|United Arab Republic]] and [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]. Kuwait hosted the [[3rd Arabian Gulf Cup|1974 Arabian Gulf Cup]] at the [[Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium]], collecting their third consecutive title in the cup. They won the [[AFC Asian Cup]] in [[1980 AFC Asian Cup|1980]]. Kuwait's national football team joined the World Cup in [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]], which was held in [[Spain]]. [[Kuwait]] was placed in Group 4 where it lost against [[England national football team|England]] and [[France national football team|France]] and managed a draw against [[Czechoslovakia]]. Kuwait's highest-ever [[FIFA ranking]] was 24th place, achieved in December 1998. <br />
<br />
[[Bader Al-Mutawa]] is the most capped player on the Kuwaiti team, [[Jasem Al-Huwaidi]] is their top scorer. Kuwait has won the [[Arabian Gulf Cup]] ten times and is the most successful team in winning the competition. Kuwait's most successful manager was [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]], who had previously won the FIFA World Cup with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]. Scolari led Kuwait to win the [[10th Arabian Gulf Cup|1990 Arabian Gulf Cup]], beating [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]] in the final. He was then forced to leave the country after the [[Iraqi invasion of Kuwait|1990 invasion by Iraq]]. <br />
<br />
Kuwait's largest victory was a 20–0 win against [[Bhutan national football team|Bhutan]] on 14 February 2000. At the time, it was the highest margin of victory in international football until [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] defeated [[American Samoa national football team|American Samoa]] 31–0 on [[Australia 31–0 American Samoa|11 April 2001]].<br />
<br />
===Impact of the Iraqi Invasion===<br />
The [[Iraqi invasion of Kuwait]] in August 1990 significantly affected the Kuwaiti national football team. During the occupation, sports activities were severely disrupted as many athletes, including football players, were displaced or went into exile. The Kuwait Football Association's headquarters and facilities were damaged, leading to the suspension of all football competitions in the country. Consequently, the national team had to miss the [[1992 AFC Asian Cup qualification|1992 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers]].<br />
<br />
One of the most tragic incidents during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was the death of Sheikh [[Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah]], who was killed [[Battle of Dasman Palace|defending the palace]]. on 2 August 1990.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-08-04-mn-600-story.html|title=Kuwait Prince Killed in Palace Battle|work=Los Angeles Times|date=4 August 1990|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref> <br />
<br />
[[Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah]] was a prominent figure in Kuwaiti sports, serving as President of the [[Kuwait Football Association]] (1978–1990) and a member of the [[International Olympic Committee]] (1981–1990). Under his leadership, Kuwait won the [[1980 AFC Asian Cup]] and qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]], becoming the first Asian Arab nation to do so.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/|title=1980 AFC Asian Cup Results|publisher=AFC|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/1982spain/teams/43922|title=Kuwait at the 1982 FIFA World Cup|publisher=FIFA|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
His death was a severe loss to Kuwaiti sports, and his legacy is honored through various tournaments and stadiums named after him.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/08/06/Arab-sports-world-loses-leader/1354649915200/|title=Arab sports world loses leader|publisher=UPI|date=6 August 1990|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
Despite these challenges, the Kuwaiti national football team participated in the [[1990 Asian Games]] held in Beijing, China, from 23 September to 6 October 1990. The participation was organized by the exiled Kuwaiti Olympic Committee, operating from Saudi Arabia, and involved athletes who were already abroad during the invasion. According to a report by the Los Angeles Times dated 17 September 1990, 42 Kuwaiti athletes, including 23 football players, arrived in Beijing to represent Kuwait in the tournament.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-09-17-sp-724-story.html|title=Exiled Kuwaitis Arrive in China|work=Los Angeles Times|date=17 September 1990|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
Kuwait was placed in Group C alongside Thailand, Yemen, and Hong Kong. The team finished seventh overall, with one win, one draw, and two losses, scoring three goals and conceding four.<br />

<br />
Their participation in the 1990 Asian Games, despite the national crisis, was seen as a powerful expression of resilience and national pride on the international stage.<br />
<br />
Kuwait's football league, the [[Kuwait Premier League|Kuwaiti Premier League]], was also suspended, leading to a significant loss of competitive match experience for players. Many training facilities and stadiums were either damaged or repurposed for military use during the invasion, further hampering the team's preparations and development. Additionally, financial constraints post-invasion led to reduced funding for sports, affecting the quality of training and support available to athletes.<br />
<br />
In the years that followed these challenges, the team achieved steady and measurable progress. In 1996, Kuwait won the [[Arabian Gulf Cup]], showcasing its resilience and ability to recover from the invasion's setbacks. The national team also qualified for the [[1996 AFC Asian Cup]], advancing to the semi-final, which was a significant achievement given the circumstances. The invasion's long-term effects were felt across the sporting community, highlighting the resilience and determination of Kuwaiti athletes and officials in rebuilding their footballing legacy post-occupation.<ref name="Impact of the Iraqi invasion">{{cite web |title=Impact of the Iraqi invasion on Kuwaiti sports |url=https://www.fifa.com |website=FIFA.com |access-date=10 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="AFC Asian Cup">{{cite web |title=AFC Asian Cup |url=https://www.the-afc.com |website=The-AFC.com |access-date=10 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="How Iraqs invasion">{{cite web |title=How Iraq's invasion affected Kuwait's football |url=https://www.arabianbusiness.com |website=ArabianBusiness.com |access-date=10 June 2024}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Suspensions===<br />
On 30 October 2007, Kuwait was suspended by [[FIFA]] from all participation in international football on the grounds of governmental interference in the national football association.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7035021,00.html|title=FIFA suspends Kuwait Football Federation|publisher=[[Guardian.co.uk]]|access-date=30 October 2007|location=London|archive-date=7 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200507233833/http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7035021,00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, the ban was short-lived, lasting less than 2 weeks.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/releases/newsid=634716.html#fifa+lifts+suspension+kuwait+conditional+basis|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111044852/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/releases/newsid=634716.html#fifa+lifts+suspension+kuwait+conditional+basis|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 11, 2007|title=FIFA lifts suspension on Kuwait|publisher=[[FIFA]]|access-date=9 November 2007}}</ref> On 24 October 2008, Kuwait was again suspended by FIFA from all participation in international football for failing to hold the General Assembly elections by mid-October.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_168297446.html |title=FIFA suspends Kuwait Football Federation |publisher=The-AFC.com |access-date=25 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081026215317/http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_168297446.html |archive-date=26 October 2008 }}</ref> FIFA provisionally lifted its suspension on the Kuwait Football Association (KFA) on 22 December 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_168395342.html |title=FIFA provisionally lifted its suspension on the Kuwait Football Association (KFA) |publisher=The-AFC.com |access-date=22 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225100331/http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_168395342.html |archive-date=25 December 2008 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Once again on 16 October 2015, Kuwait was suspended for the third time as FIFA did not recognize the new sports law in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/governance/news/y=2015/m=10/news=suspension-of-the-kuwait-football-association-2717726.html?intcmp=fifacom_hp_module_about_fifa|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160109031714/http://www.fifa.com/governance/news/y=2015/m=10/news=suspension-of-the-kuwait-football-association-2717726.html?intcmp=fifacom_hp_module_about_fifa|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 9, 2016|title=Suspension of the Kuwait Football Association|publisher=FIFA|access-date=16 October 2015}}</ref> Kuwait tried to get the suspension lifted at the [[FIFA Congress|66th FIFA Congress]], but the proposal was rejected. Therefore, to the earlier announcement on 27 April 2016, the hosting of the Gulf Cup tournament would also be moved to Qatar.<ref>{{cite web|title=FIFA Congress drives football forward, first female secretary general appointed|url=https://inside.fifa.com/about-fifa/organisation/media-releases/fifa-congress-drives-football-forward-first-female-secretary-general-a-2790957|publisher=FIFA|access-date=14 May 2016}}</ref> The suspension was lifted on 6 December 2017, after Kuwait adopted a new sports law.<ref>{{cite news|title=Suspension of the Kuwait Football Association lifted|url=https://inside.fifa.com/legal/football-regulatory/media-releases/suspension-of-the-kuwait-football-association-lifted-2922929|access-date=6 December 2017|publisher=FIFA.com|date=6 December 2017}}</ref> By this time, the team had fallen from 139th place to 189th place in the FIFA World Rankings due to its inactivity, which also caused the team to miss the qualifiers for the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2019 AFC Asian Cup]].<ref name="teamsconfirmed">{{cite web |url=https://www.the-afc.com/en/national/afc_asian_cup/news/teams_for_final_round_of_afc_asian_cup_uae_2019_qualifiers_confirmed.html|title=Teams for final round of AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 qualifiers confirmed |publisher=Asian Football Confederation |access-date=13 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking - November 2017|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/rank=280/afc.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125205143/http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/rank=280/afc.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 25, 2017|website=FIFA.com|access-date=6 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.arabianbusiness.com/gcc/kuwait/385052-fifa-lifts-suspension-on-kuwaits-football-association|title = FIFA lifts suspension on Kuwait's football association - Kuwait,Europe - ArabianBusiness.com| date=6 December 2017 }}</ref><br />
<br />
On 7 December 2017, it was announced that Kuwait would host the [[23rd Arabian Gulf Cup|2017 Gulf Cup]] tournament after [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]], the [[United Arab Emirates national football team|United Arab Emirates]], and [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]] had all withdrawn. The tournament was previously set to be hosted by Qatar, but, because of the [[2017–18 Qatar diplomatic crisis|Qatari diplomatic crisis]], it was moved to Kuwait, and the withdrawn nations joined again.<br />
<br />
===Revival===<br />
During the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification]], Kuwait, which only started to rebuild its team following years of suspensions, was drawn into Group B alongside [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]], Jordan, Nepal, and Chinese Taipei. Kuwait’s performance in the qualifiers reflected the impact of previous suspensions and instabilities, as the team lost 0–3 twice. Still, the qualifiers stood out as the best qualification for Kuwait since 2006, as Kuwait finished second and was unable to progress to the third round.<br />
<br />
In June 2022, Kuwait hosted the third round of the [[2023 AFC Asian Cup]] qualifiers. Kuwait failed to qualify, as they lost to Indonesia and Jordan.<br />
<br />
In June 2023, Kuwait was invited as a guest team in the [[2023 SAFF Championship]], where it finished as runner-up, losing to India during a penalty shootout in the final.<br />
<br />
In June 2024, Kuwait qualified for the [[2027 AFC Asian Cup]] after nine years of absence and advanced into the third round of the [[2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round|2026 FIFA World Cup qualification]].<br />
<br />
After the controversial match against [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]], which ended in a goalless draw, the Kuwait Football Association board resigned on 17 September 2024 due to chaotic scenes where fans suffered in extreme temperatures and some ticket holders were denied entry. The Kuwaiti FA launched an inquiry and subsequently approved the resignations of several key officials. Following the backlash, the KFA suspended its Secretary-General, Salah Al-Qanai, and Public Relations Director, Mohamed Bou Abbas. Dr. Saleh Al-Majroub was later appointed as acting Secretary-General to lead the federation during the interim period.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240916-kuwait-fa-board-resigns-after-world-cup-qualifier-fiasco/|title=Kuwait FA board resigns after World Cup qualifier fiasco|publisher=Middle East Monitor|date=16 September 2024|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
Following that match, Kuwait entered a period of fluctuating results. On 10 October 2024, they suffered a heavy 0–4 defeat to [[Oman national football team|Oman]] in Muscat,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/710455/kuwait-oman|title=Match report: Kuwait vs Oman|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref> followed by a 2–2 draw against [[Palestine national football team|Palestine]] in Doha on 15 October. The team then hosted [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] on 14 November and lost 1–3,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/699999/kuwait-south-korea|title=Match report: Kuwait vs South Korea|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref> before securing a 1–1 draw with [[Jordan national football team|Jordan]] on 19 November in Kuwait City. In December, Kuwait played three friendlies in Doha: a 1–1 draw with [[Yemen national football team|Yemen]] on the 9th, and two consecutive defeats to [[Lebanon national football team|Lebanon]] on the 12th and 15th (1–2 and 0–2 respectively).<br />
<br />
During the [[26th Arabian Gulf Cup]] hosted in Kuwait from 21 to 31 December 2024, the national team aimed to revive its historical status as the tournament’s most successful side with ten titles. The competition began with a 1–1 draw against [[Oman national football team|Oman]], followed by an impressive 2–1 victory over the [[United Arab Emirates national football team|United Arab Emirates]]. In their final group stage match, Kuwait drew 1–1 with [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]], securing qualification to the semi-finals as group runners-up. The semi-final match against [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]] was a closely contested encounter. Despite creating several chances, Kuwait lost 0–1, ending their hopes of winning an eleventh title on home soil.<br />
<br />
The tournament marked Kuwait's return as a competitive force in the region, with solid performances that drew positive attention from local media. Sports analysts and newspapers such as ''Al Rai'' and ''Al Qabas'' praised the team’s fighting spirit and improved organization under interim leadership, despite not reaching the final.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.alraimedia.com/article/1653124/رياضة/رياضة-محلية/إشادة-بالأزرق-رغم-الخروج|title=إشادة بالأزرق رغم الخروج|publisher=Al Rai|date=1 January 2025|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref> There was also renewed public enthusiasm, with several matches drawing near-capacity crowds at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. However, some criticism remained regarding the team’s lack of clinical finishing, and calls were made for continued reforms in youth development and coaching infrastructure.<br />
<br />
In 2025, the Kuwait national football team continued to experience inconsistent performances. On 20 March, Kuwait played against [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]] in Basra, where the match ended in a 2–2 draw. Yousef Nasser scored both goals for Kuwait, while Iraq managed to equalize with two late goals in stoppage time through Akam Hashim and Ibrahim Bayesh.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/710490/kuwait-iraq|title=Match Report: Kuwait 2–2 Iraq|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
Five days later, on 25 March, Kuwait hosted [[Oman national football team|Oman]] at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium but suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat, with Issam Al-Subhi scoring the decisive goal for Oman.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/710503/oman-kuwait|title=Match Report: Kuwait 0–1 Oman|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />

[[File:Kazmastadium.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Al-Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium]]<br />
The Kuwait national football team primarily plays its home matches at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium, a modern multi-purpose venue inaugurated in 2009 with a capacity of over 60,000 spectators.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goalzz.com/main.aspx?showstadiums=1&stadium=4376|title=Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium|publisher=Goalzz|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref> This stadium has hosted major international fixtures, including Gulf Cup matches and Asian qualifiers.<br />
<br />
Before its completion, the national team played most of its home matches at Mohammed Al-Hamad Stadium in Hawalli, a smaller venue traditionally associated with Al-Qadsia SC. Kuwait has also used other stadiums on occasion, such as Al-Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium, home of Kazma SC, and Ali Al-Salem Al-Sabah Stadium, home of Al-Nasr SC in Farwaniya. These alternative venues are typically selected based on logistical needs or specific tournament requirements.<br />
<br />
In recent years, the newly inaugurated [[Sulaibikhat Stadium]] in [[Sulaibikhat]], has been added to Kuwait's list of modern football venues. Opened in December 2024, it features a European-style football-specific design without an athletics track and has a capacity of 15,000 spectators. It serves as the home ground for Sulaibikhat SC and has also hosted select matches for Al-Arabi SC.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.alraimedia.com/article/1651842/رياضة/الملاعب/افتتاح-استاد-جابر-المبارك-في-الصليبخات|title=افتتاح استاد جابر المبارك في الصليبخات|publisher=Al Rai|date=11 December 2024|accessdate=15 April 2025}}</ref><br />

[[Iraq national football team|Iraq]]'s rivalry with Kuwait has been one of the most notable [[football rivalry|football rivalries]] in the Arab world.<ref name="iraq-kuwait">{{Cite web |url=http://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/storied-gulf-cup-rivalry-between-iraq-and-kuwait-survives-war |title=Storied Gulf Cup rivalry between Iraq and Kuwait survives war |access-date=2013-07-23 |archive-date=2016-08-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160829210322/http://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/storied-gulf-cup-rivalry-between-iraq-and-kuwait-survives-war |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Storied Gulf Cup rivalry between Iraq and Kuwait survives war|url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/storied-gulf-cup-rivalry-between-iraq-and-kuwait-survives-war-1.473125|access-date=2021-08-29|website=The National|date=31 December 2012|archive-date=2022-08-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220820062951/https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/storied-gulf-cup-rivalry-between-iraq-and-kuwait-survives-war-1.473125|url-status=live}}</ref> The rivalry began in the mid-1970s, and it was the decade from 1976 until 1986 that saw the golden age of football for arguably the finest teams the region has produced. Both nations imposed their domination on the Gulf region, and from the Gulf Cup's inception in 1970 until 1990, the tournament was won by only two teams; Kuwait seven times ([[1970 Gulf Cup of Nations|1970]], [[1972 Gulf Cup of Nations|1972]], [[1974 Gulf Cup of Nations|1974]], [[1976 Gulf Cup of Nations|1976]], [[1982 Gulf Cup of Nations|1982]], [[1986 Gulf Cup of Nations|1986]], [[1990 Gulf Cup of Nations|1990]]), and despite Iraq's absence in the first three editions and withdrawal in two others, Iraq won it three times ([[1979 Gulf Cup of Nations|1979]], [[1984 Gulf Cup of Nations|1984]], [[1988 Gulf Cup of Nations|1988]]).<ref name="iraq-kuwait"/><br />
<br />
On 11 June 1976, the two met in the semi-final of the [[1976 AFC Asian Cup|Asian Cup]] in [[Tehran]]; Kuwait took the lead twice, and Iraq equalized twice thereafter. Finally, in the 10th minute of extra time, Kamel scored the winner for Kuwait. In 1979, the year Iraq clinched their [[1979 Gulf Cup of Nations|first Gulf Cup]] and won over Kuwait 3–1, the two met in a qualifier for the [[Football at the 1980 Summer Olympics|Moscow 1980 Olympic Games]], both managed to qualify for the Olympic Games, and both made it to the quarterfinals in [[Moscow]]. Iraq also qualified for the [[Football at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Games in Los Angeles]] and the [[Football at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Games in Seoul]]. The [[1982 Asian Games]] was won as well. Kuwait won the [[1980 AFC Asian Cup]], which they hosted. The nations also left their mark on the world stage. Kuwait qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982 World Cup]] finals in Spain. Iraq matched that in [[1986 FIFA World Cup|Mexico 1986]].<ref name="iraq-kuwait"/><br />
<br />
As Iraq and Kuwait traded Gulf titles in [[1988 Gulf Cup of Nations|1988]] and [[1990 Gulf Cup of Nations|1990]], few could have imagined their rivalry on the football field being replaced by an altogether more catastrophic one on the battlefield. Because of the [[Gulf War]], Iraq and Kuwait were in complete avoidance and never met for more than a decade. Kuwait's Blues had a relative recovery, winning the Gulf Cup in [[1996 Gulf Cup of Nations|1996]] and [[1998 Gulf Cup of Nations|1998]], before securing their record 10th title in [[2010 Gulf Cup of Nations|2010]]. Iraq won the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup|2007 Asian Cup]].<ref name="iraq-kuwait"/><br />

The football rivalry between Kuwait and [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] is one of the most anticipated in the [[Persian Gulf|Gulf region]], steeped in decades of competition and regional pride. This rivalry is frequently highlighted in the [[Arabian Gulf Cup]] and other regional tournaments, attracting attention from fans and media. Kuwait achieved notable success in the 1970s and 1980s, winning the [[1980 AFC Asian Cup]] and becoming the first Arab nation to qualify for the [[FIFA World Cup 1982|FIFA World Cup in 1982]]. Key players from this golden era, such as [[Jasem Yaqoub|Jassem Yaqoub]], [[Faisal Al-Dakhil]], and [[Saad Al-Houti]], were instrumental in Kuwait's regional and continental triumphs.<br />
<br />
Saudi Arabia saw increased success in football beginning in the late 1980s and continuing into the 1990s, with consecutive [[FIFA World Cup]] qualifications starting in [[1994 FIFA World Cup qualification|1994]] and three AFC Asian Cup victories in [[1984 AFC Asian Cup|1984]], [[1988 AFC Asian Cup|1988]], and [[1996 AFC Asian Cup|1996]]. Legendary players like [[Majed Abdullah]], who is often regarded as one of the greatest Asian footballers of all time, and [[Sami Al-Jaber]], a prolific striker with four FIFA World Cup appearances, played crucial roles in Saudi Arabia's footballing achievements.<br />
<br />
Notable matches in this rivalry include the 1980 Arabian Gulf Cup final, where Kuwait defeated Saudi Arabia 3–1, showcasing their dominance at the time. Another significant encounter was the [[14th Arabian Gulf Cup|1998 Arabian Gulf Cup]], where Saudi Arabia emerged victorious, asserting their growing influence in regional football. The 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers also featured a dramatic showdown between the two teams, with Saudi Arabia securing a crucial 1–0 victory, thanks to a goal by [[Nawaf Al-Temyat]], which helped them qualify for the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]].<br />

'''National colours''' are frequently part of a country's set of [[national symbol]]s. Many states and nations have formally adopted a set of [[colours]] as their official "national colours" while others have ''[[de facto]]'' national colours that have become well known through popular use. National colours often appear on a variety of different media, from the nation's [[flag]] to the colours used in [[sport]]s. Before [[World War I]], they also served as the colours of different military uniforms for each nation or region.<br />

The '''flag of [[Sri Lanka]]''' ({{langx|si|ශ්රී ලංකාවේ ජාතික කොඩිය|translit=Sri Lankave jathika kodiya}}; {{langx|ta|இலங்கையின் தேசியக்கொடி|translit=Ilankaiyin teciyakkoṭi}}), also called the '''''Sinha'' Flag''' or '''Lion Flag''', consists of a [[Gold (color)|golden]] [[lion]] holding a [[kastane|''kastane'' sword]] in its right fore-paw in a [[maroon]] background with four gold [[Bo tree|bo]] leaves, one in each corner. This is bordered by gold, and to its left are two vertical stripes of equal size in [[teal]] and [[Orange (color)|orange]], with the orange stripe closest to the lion.<br />
<br />
The lion and the maroon background represent the [[Sinhalese people|Sinhalese race]], while the saffron border and four bo leaves represent the concepts of ''[[mettā|meththa]]'', ''[[karuṇā]]'', ''[[Mudita|muditā]]'' and ''[[Upeksha|upecka]]'' respectively. The stripes represent the country's two largest minority ethnicities, with the orange stripe representing the Tamils inhabitants—namely the [[Sri Lankan Tamils]] and the [[Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka]]—and the teal stripe representing the [[Sri Lankan Moors]] ([[Islam in Sri Lanka|Muslims of Sri Lanka]]). The golden yellow border is a catch-all representing the various minority communities of the country.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Monarchical Sri Lanka===<br />
As depicted on a mural in Cave no. 2 at [[Dambulla cave temple|Dambulla Viharaya]], King [[Dutugemunu]] on his campaign against [[Ellalan|Elara]] (an invading South Indian ruler in 162 BC) is depicted with a banner containing a lion figure carrying a sword in its right forepaw, a symbol of the Sun and one of the Moon.<ref>{{cite book | last=Seneviratna | first=Anuradha | title=Golden Rock Temple of Dambulla: Caves of infinite Buddhas | publisher=Central Cultural Fund | year=1983 | page=9}}</ref> This flag was known as the only ancient representation of the lion flag of the Sinhalese but in 1957, the lion figure on it was defaced by a vandal.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of archaeology in Ceylon|publisher=Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, New Series (Vol XIII)|last=Godakumbura|first=C.E.|date=1969|pages=36|language=en|quote=We all agree with Deraniyagala when he considers that the defacing of the lion depicted upon Dutugemunu's flag in the famous Dambulla frescoes as a national loss. This, so far as we know, is the only ancient representation of the lion-flag of the Sinhalese.}}</ref><br />

===British colonial period===<br />
This basic design continued to be in use until 1815, when the [[Kandyan Convention]] ended the reign of the country's last native monarch, [[Sri Vikrama Rajasinha]], replacing his royal standard (used as the Flag of the [[Kandyan Kingdom|Kingdom of Kandy]]) with the [[Union Flag]] as the nation's accepted flag.<ref name="sundaytimes">{{cite news|title=The Sri Lankan National Flag|url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/180204/funday-times/the-sri-lankan-national-flag-279417.html|access-date=27 April 2018|agency=The Sunday Times|publisher=sundaytimes.lk|date=4 February 2018}}</ref> The colonial government of [[British Ceylon]] later established its own flag, while Sri Vikrama Rajasinha's standard was taken to [[England]] and kept at the [[Royal Hospital Chelsea]].<ref name="sundaytimes"/><br />

===Sri Lanka (since 1948)===<br />
As the independence movement in Sri Lanka gained strength in the early 20th century, [[E. W. Perera]] and [[D. R. Wijewardena]] discovered the original Lioness Flag in Chelsea.<ref name="sundaytimes"/> A photo of it was published in ''[[Dinamina]]'', in a special edition marking a century since the loss of self-rule and Sri Lankan independence.<ref name="sundaytimes"/> The flag provoked much interest from the public who, for the first time since the fall of the Kandyan Kingdom, had seen its actual design.<ref name="sundaytimes"/><br />
<br />
Member of Parliament for [[Batticaloa]], [[Ahamed Lebbe Sinne Lebbe|Mudaliyar A. Sinnalebbe]], suggested in Parliament on January 16, 1948, that the Lion Flag should be accepted as the national flag.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archives.dailynews.lk/2004/02/04/ind09.html|title=The proposer of the lion flag: Mudlr.

==Symbolism==<br />
According to the Buddhist [[Mahāvaṃsa|Mahavamsa]] chronicle, the Sinhala Buddhists are descended from Prince Vijaya, whose father [[Sinhabahu]] was the son of a lion and a human princess. This myth is reflected in the national flag, with its lion symbolizing the Sinhala race.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sriskanda Rajah |first=A.

[[Deshabandu]] '''Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas''' (born 27 January 1974) is a former Sri Lankan international [[cricket]]er who represented the [[Sri Lanka national cricket team]]. He is a fast medium pace bowler and regarded as one of the greatest bowlers from Sri Lanka and one of the most successful bowlers in international cricket. He was a part of the Sri Lankan squad which won the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]].<br />
<br />
In 2004 Vaas gained international recognition when he was selected for the [[ICC Test Team of the Year|World Test]] and one-day XI at the [[2004 ICC Awards|inaugural]] [[ICC Awards]]. He was again selected for the World Test XI in 2005. In his fifteen-year international career, he was relatively free of injury.<br />
<br />
He has set a number of national and international records as a bowler.<ref>{{cite news|title=The painful story behind the making of a fast bowler|url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/120205/Sports/sunday_Musings.html|work=[[The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)|The Sunday Times]]|date=5 February 2012}}</ref><ref name="NYT2009"/> Vaas currently holds the record for the best bowling figures in ODI history, and is the only bowler to take an 8-wicket haul in ODIs.

==International career==<br />
===Early years===<br />
Nearly 4 years after his [[First-class cricket|first-class]] debut, after just 13 matches, Vaas made his Test debut for the [[Sri Lankan cricket team]] against [[Pakistan]] at [[Kandy]] in August 1994. Within his first year in the national side, he made a great impact guiding Sri Lanka to their maiden [[test cricket|Test Match]] away [[Sri Lankan cricket team in New Zealand in 1994–95|victory]] against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] at [[Napier, New Zealand|Napier]], taking 5–47 & 5–43 and scoring 33 & 36 and being nominated Man of the Match.<ref name=saga>{{cite news|title=The Vaas saga|url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/160103/sports/the-vaas-saga-177302.html|work=[[The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)|The Sunday Times]]|date=3 January 2016|access-date=9 January 2016}}</ref> In the second test at Dunedin, only his sixth Test, he took his third [[five-wicket haul]] and was again named Man of the Match.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kiwis assailed by Vaas|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket-kiwis-assailed-by-vaas-1612187.html|work=[[The Independent]]|date=21 March 1995}}</ref><br />

He was a regular member of the ODI side during the 1996 World Cup, playing in all six matches including the Final, where Sri Lanka defeated Australia to become world champions for the first time.<ref name=saga/><br />
<br />
===Record breaking===<br />
In 2001–02, he took 26 wickets in a [[West Indian cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2001–02|series]] win against the [[West Indies]] at home.

At the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]], held in South Africa, Vaas picked up 23 wickets, becoming the leading wicket taker in the tournament. This included a best of 6–25 against [[Bangladesh]], where Vaas also took a [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] with the first three deliveries of the Bangladesh innings.

In August 2004, he took six wickets in the second innings at the SSC to deliver Sri Lanka their first-ever series win over South Africa by handing out a comprehensive thrashing.

On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played their first ODI match, against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in the [[1986 Asia Cup|Asia Cup]]. For a long time, [[Association football|football]] was the most popular sport in Bangladesh, but cricket gradually became very popular – particularly in urban areas – and by the late 1990s, it had surpassed football. Bangladesh performed inconsistently until 1997, when they marked their first major victory, winning the [[1997 ICC Trophy]] in Malaysia and thus qualified for their first [[Cricket World Cup]] to participate in England in [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999]]. There, they defeated Pakistan – causing much upset – and [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]]. This set the way to becoming the 10th Test-playing nation. On 26 June 2000, Bangladesh was granted full ICC membership.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/807107.stm|title = Bangladesh delight at Test status |work=[[BBC News]]|access-date = 2008-04-08|date=26 June 2000}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/bangladesh/4482075.stm|title =Bangladesh in Tests: A short history| publisher = [[BBC Sport]]|access-date = 2008-04-08 |date = 10 May 2005}}</ref><ref name="Test">{{cite news|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/sports/bangladesh-cricket/news/bulbul-we-got-the-test-status-1920861|title='Bulbul, we got the Test status'|work=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]] |date=26 June 2020|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://tbsnews.net/sports/bangladeshs-road-test-status-98191|title=Bangladesh's road to Test status|work=[[The Business Standard]]|date=26 June 2020|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref><ref name="ICC">{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/asia/full/22|title=Bangladesh Cricket Board|work=[[International Cricket Council|ICC]]|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref> They played [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2000–01|their first test match]] in November 2000 against [[India national cricket team|India]] with a 9 wicket loss in [[Dhaka]].<br />

Bangladesh's major achievements include reaching the semi-finals in [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy]]. That run included a famous comeback win over New Zealand, often considered one of the greatest wins in Bangladesh's cricketing history. The team reached the quarter-finals in 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup after beating England in Adelaide, still a landmark moment for the team and the fanbase. Bangladesh were runners up in three [[Asia Cup]]s -in [[2012 Asia Cup|2012]], where they lost by a narrow margin of 2 runs in Mirpur, in [[2016 Asia Cup|2016]], the T20 version of the tournament held at home, and [[2018 Asia Cup|2018]] held in the UAE. They lost in the final of the [[2018 Nidahas Trophy]] in the last over, the latest of a series of near-final losses for the national side. They won their first recognized multi-team trophy when lifted [[2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series]]. As of 31 May 2025, Bangladesh is ranked 9th in Tests and 10th in both ODIs and T20Is by the ICC.<ref name="ICCrankings">{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/rankings/content/page/211271.html |title=ICC rankings – ICC Test, ODI and Twenty20 rankings |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |access-date=22 November 2021}}</ref><br />

Bangladesh posted its first ODI win against Kenya, in India. thanks largely to [[Mohammad Rafique (cricketer)|Mohammad Rafique]], who contributed a fiery 77 runs and took 3 wickets. He put on 137 for the first wicket with [[Athar Ali Khan]] whose own contribution was 47.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66145.html Bangladesh v Kenya (17 May 1998)], Retrieved on (27 January 2008)</ref><br />

In October 1998, Bangladesh hosted (but did not participate in) the first [[1998 ICC KnockOut Trophy|ICC KnockOut Trophy]] ever held (the event later became the ICC Champions Trophy), a knock-out ODI tournament featuring all the test playing nations.<br />
<br />
Bangladesh took part in each of the [[1979 ICC Trophy|1979]], [[1982 ICC Trophy|1982]], [[1986 ICC Trophy|1986]], [[1990 ICC Trophy|1990]], and [[1994 ICC Trophy|1994]] editions of the ICC Trophy, and won the trophy in [[1997 ICC Trophy|1997]], in the process qualified for the 1999 World Cup. The then General Secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board, [[Aminul Huq Moni]] took the initiative to install [[AstroTurf|Astro Turf]] in [[Abahani Limited (Dhaka)|Abahani]] Cricket Ground and [[Bangabandhu National Stadium]] so that the local players had two full seasons to prepare on the type of pitch they would playing in ICC Trophy in 1997.<ref>{{cite news |date=1 June 2015 |title=Former BCB general secretary dies in Dhaka |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/former-bcb-general-secretary-dies-in-dhaka-883039 |access-date=16 January 2016}}</ref> Bangladesh also became a regular ICC member with the right to play ODIs and started hosting bilateral and triangular ODI tournaments. Earlier, in February Dhaka hosted the third and final SAARC cricket tournament. Bangladesh played in its first World Cup in [[1999 ICC Cricket World Cup|England in 1999]] and recorded their first win in a World Cup match against Scotland. Later on, Bangladesh created an enormous upset by beating [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] by 62 runs in the group match at [[County Ground, Northampton|Northampton]]. Bangladesh made 9/223 from its full 50 overs, and in reply, Pakistan could only manage 161 due to timely run-outs by wicket-keeper [[Khaled Mashud]] and some tight bowling by [[Khaled Mahmud]], who took 3/31 from 10 overs. Mahmud was judged the man of the match. Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super Six round due to defeats in three of its five matches. However, the win over Pakistan, who finished runners-up to [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], helped Bangladesh to gain test playing status the following year.

Bangladesh took part in the [[2001–02 Asian Test Championship]], the second and final time the championship was held and the first the team had been eligible to play in.

In November, [[Zimbabwean cricket team in Bangladesh in 2001-02|Bangladesh hosted Zimbabwe]] for two Tests and three ODIs.

In November, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in South Africa in 2008-09|Bangladesh toured South Africa]].

In December, however, Bangladesh bounced back from the previous lacklustre performances by threatening to win the first Test match against Sri Lanka at home by chasing down the highest fourth innings total of 513.

<br />
In the ODI series, England comfortably won the first match.

In February and March 2011, Bangladesh co-hosted the [[2011 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] with India and Sri Lanka.

<br />
Bangladesh later defeated the Netherlands, making their final match of the group stage a must-win contest. Against South Africa, Bangladesh succumbed to their second-largest defeat in ODIs and became the first Full Member team to be bowled out for under 100 twice in World Cups, thereby failing to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |last=Purohit |first=Abhishek |date=19 March 2011 |title=Abject Bangladesh surrender meekly |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-2010-11-381449/bangladesh-vs-south-africa-39th-match-group-b-433597/match-report |access-date=20 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />
<br />
Then Australia completed a 3–0 sweep in ODIs against Bangladesh when they visited the country in April.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-australia-2011/content/series/503357.html|title=Australia tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />
<br />
Middle of the Australian visit, BCB confirmed that Siddons unlikely to win a contract extension from the moment his team failed to meet lofty home expectations during the 2011 World Cup.<ref>{{cite web |last=Brettig |first=Daniel |date=12 April 2011 |title=Siddons' Bangladesh tenure ends |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-news-siddons-bangladesh-tenure-ends-510797 |access-date=20 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> Under his mentorship, Bangladesh won 2 Tests (in 19), 31 ODIs (in 84).

During his three-and-a-half-year tenure as coach Siddons introduced a full coaching staff for the first time, including coaches for bowling, strength and conditioning, and fielding. Under Siddons Bangladesh's reliance on spin bowlers continued, partly because pitches in the country encourage spin bowlers, and frequently only two seam bowlers were used in a match. Siddons was credited with helping the team improve mentally.<ref>{{cite web |last=Choudhury |first=Abu |date=19 June 2011 |title=Lessons from Siddons |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/abu-choudhury-what-bangladesh-can-learn-from-jamie-siddons-time-as-coach-519381 |access-date=20 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Under Stuart Law (2011–2012) ===<br />
A lengthy hunt for a head coach, followed Siddons' exit encountering the names of [[Vincent Barnes]] and [[Stuart Law]] as possible appointees.<ref>{{cite web |date=6 June 2011 |title=Vincent Barnes declines Bangladesh coaching job |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-news-vincent-barnes-declines-bangladesh-coaching-job-517998 |access-date=29 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> Law, who at the time was the interim head coach of [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] following [[Trevor Bayliss]]' departure, was named Bangladesh's new head coach starting from 1 July 2011.<ref name="new Law">{{cite web |date=27 June 2011 |title=Law to take over as Bangladesh coach |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sri-lanka-news-stuart-law-to-take-over-as-bangladesh-coach-520898 |access-date=29 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />

<br />
Bangladesh's struggles at the international level have been epitomised by the ineffectiveness of their fast bowlers. Between January 2010 and August 2011, they took 37&nbsp;wickets in 8&nbsp;Tests at an average of 67.67, the worst out of the nine teams playing regular Test cricket in this period.<ref>{{cite web |date=12 August 2011 |title=England's pace pack, and Johnson's Asia heroics |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-numbers-game-england-s-pace-pack-and-johnson-s-asia-heroics-527068 |access-date=9 September 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />

Before Bangladesh had even secured Test status, cricket fans in the country took the game seriously; when the team lost an ODI against Kenya in March 1999, several hundred fans protested outside the offices of the [[Bangladesh Cricket Board]] (BCB).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/151605.html |title=Meril International Tournament 1998–99, fifth match: Bangladesh v Kenya |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> On learning of Bangladesh's promotion to Test status, thousands of people celebrated on the streets.

<br />
The people of Bangladesh are referred as "the most passionate cricket fans" among the cricket world. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans sometimes take to the streets in celebration. When Bangladesh defeated India in the 2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there being a ban on public gatherings at the time.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6536593.stm |title=Cricket win prompts Dhaka parties |work=BBC News|date=8 April 2007 |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> Although fans are jubilant in victory, they can also be vocal in defeat.

==Team colours and sponsorship==<br />
[[File:Bangladesh Team Returning to Dressing Room.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Bangladesh cricket players against Zimbabwe in 2009.]]<br />
In Test cricket, Bangladesh wears [[cricket whites]], with the BCB logo on the left chest and the sponsor's logo on the right chest. Fielders wear a dark green cap or a white wide brim sunhat. The helmets are also dark green. In limited overs cricket, Bangladesh wears a green uniform with red being the secondary colour and the BCB logo on chest and the sponsor's logo on the centre and "BANGLADESH" written underneath in white letters, with the fielders wearing a green baseball cap with red accents or a green wide-brimmed hat. During [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] tournaments, the sponsor's logo is placed on the left sleeve. In the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], Bangladesh wore an olive green uniform with yellow accents and a horizontal stripe with tiger-stripe motif on the chest.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/181003|title=Classic World Cup Kits – 1999|access-date=11 September 2018}}</ref><br />

'''Douglas Erwin Bollinger''' (born 24 July 1981) is a former Australian [[cricket]]er. He has played [[first-class cricket]] for the [[New South Wales cricket team]] and international cricket for [[Australia]]. He is a left-handed batsman and a left-arm fast bowler. Bollinger has played for [[Worcestershire County Cricket Club]] and [[Kent County Cricket Club]] in England, for the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in the [[Indian Premier League]] and for [[Hobart Hurricanes]], [[Sydney Thunder]] and [[Sydney Sixers]] in domestic T20 competition. He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 5 February 2018.<ref name="retire">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22327877/doug-bollinger-retires-sheffield-shield-resumes |title=Bollinger retires as Sheffield Shield resumes |access-date=5 February 2018 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> Bollinger was a member of the Australian squad which won the [[2009 ICC Champions Trophy]].<br />
<br />
==Domestic career==<br />
A resident of [[Seven Hills, New South Wales|Seven Hills]] he commenced his playing career at 15 with Seven Hills Toongabbie RSL Cricket Club where he was noted as being no more than an enthusiastic but erratic bowler during his early days. He played 3 seasons at Seven Hills before being given an opportunity by [[Grant Lambert]] to play grade cricket for Fairfield-Liverpool. <ref>{{cite news | last = O'Maley | first = Christine |author2=Bryn Kay | title = Bolly good fun | work = Blacktown Advocate | pages = 60 | publisher=Nationwide News Pty Ltd | date = 14 January 2009 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The left-armer debuted for New South Wales in 2002–03. In the 2004–05 season, in an [[ING Cup (cricket)|ING Cup]] match against South Australia, he picked up a [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] in dismissing the Redbacks' brittle top order. Following this innings, he did not continue this form. He generated some success in the One-Day form of the game, taking 27 wickets at an average of 28.32 in 20 matches leading to the Australian selectors naming him in a 30-man squad for the ICC champions trophy tournament in India. Bollinger was one of a select group of up and coming Australian cricketers who have spent time at the Commonwealth Bank Centre of Excellence honing their cricket skills, in the hope of gaining national selection.<br />
<br />
==International career==<br />
The end of 2006–07 season saw the retirement of [[Glenn McGrath]], who is the fifth highest wicket-taker in Test history, opening up a bowling position in the Australian team. Bollinger staked his claim early in the summer. He took a five wicket haul in NSW Pura cup match against WA. In a devastating spell of pace and swing not seen at the WACA for some years Bollinger claimed yet another hat-trick and ended up with the figures of 5/38. He made his Test debut for Australia on 3 January 2009 in the Third Test against South Africa at the SCG.<br />
<br />
On 1 May 2009, Bollinger claimed his first [[one day international|ODI]] five-wicket haul, which came against [[Pakistan cricket team|Pakistan]] at [[Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium|Sheikh Zayed Stadium]] in [[Abu Dhabi]]. He picked up 5/35 and won his first [[Man of the Match]] award. In the 6th ODI versus India at Guwahati, he took 4 wickets and was declared as the Man of the match again.<br />
<br />
Bollinger was once again drafted into the Australian XI for the second of three Tests against the West Indies in November&nbsp;– December 2009 following injuries to leading pacemen Ben Hilfenhaus and Peter Siddle. He took 5 wickets in the match at Adelaide, and continued his good bowling form into the third and final Test, taking career best figures of 5/70 in the first innings and 8/141 for the match.<br />
<br />
On 21 January 2011, in an ODI match against England at Hobart, Bollinger scored 30 runs—his highest ever ODI score—in a record ninth wicket partnership with [[Shaun Marsh]]. In England's innings, Bollinger was the pick of the Australian bowlers, taking 4/28, as Australia went on to win the match by 46 runs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2010-11/content/story/497617.html|title=Marsh and Bollinger star in Australian victory |last=McGlashan |first= Andrew |work= The Bulletin |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=21 January 2011 |access-date= 22 January 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
Doug Bollinger was ruled out of the World Cup in 2011 due to an ankle injury, and was forced to fly home.<ref>{{cite web| title=Doug Bollinger, ICC World Cup 2011 | date=25 February 2011 | url=http://iccworld-cup2011.blogspot.com/2011/02/bollinger-ruled-out-of-world-cup-due-to.html | publisher=CricketArchive }}</ref><br />
<br />
==Indian Premier League==<br />
Bollinger was signed up by [[Chennai Super Kings]] for the [[2010 Indian Premier League]]. He has been included in the roster after the Super Kings' all-rounder [[Jacob Oram]] confirmed his unavailability for the season due to injury. Bollinger arrived for the second half of the tournament after the end of the tour of New Zealand. Bollinger is the fourth Australian to play for the Super Kings after [[Matthew Hayden]], [[Michael Hussey]] and [[George Bailey (cricketer, born 1982)|George Bailey]]. In his IPL debut, he helped Chennai defend a total of 246 against Rajasthan by taking a catch off [[Yusuf Pathan]] which was going for a six; he backpedalled and caught the ball and had to throw it up in the air before falling over the rope and then rebalancing himself to complete the catch. This earned him an award for the best catch of the match. He delivered a spell of 2/15 from four overs dismissing [[Shane Watson]] who got 60 off just 25 balls in a match which the other Chennai bowlers averaged 13 runs per over in contrast to his 3.75. Rajasthan ended their innings at 223.<br />
<br />
His effort against Kolkata with a spell of 4–1–15–2 helped restrict them to 139 in a crucial match, and the target was chased down by Chennai by nine wickets. Against Delhi, he got [[Virender Sehwag]] and [[Tillakaratne Dilshan]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2009-10-418064/chennai-super-kings-vs-delhi-daredevils-50th-match-419155/full-scorecard|title=Full Scorecard of Super Kings vs Daredevils 50th match 2009/10 - Score Report |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref> out in his very first over bringing them to a worrying score of 6/3. However, they were only defending a low total of 112 and lost. He ended his spell at 4–0–24–2. In the semi-final against the [[Deccan Chargers]], Bollinger bowled an excellent spell of 4/13 to help Chennai crush the defending champions while defending a low total. This helped them in reaching the final and they eventually won the third edition of the tournament by defeating the [[Mumbai Indians]] in the final. Bollinger was greatly responsible for bringing the turnaround in the team's fortunes. Before his arrival they had won only three of their eight games.<br />
<br />
Bollinger was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the 2011 IPL auction for US$0.7 Million. He could not participate in the first three matches due to illness. However, he confirmed his fitness and had been included in the later part of the tournament. He was awarded the man of the match for his impressive spell against the [[Pune Warriors India]], taking 3/21 in his four overs.<br />

'''Denesh Ramdin''' (born 13 March 1985) is a former [[Trinidad and Tobago|Trinidadian]] [[cricket]]er who played as a right-handed [[wicketkeeper]]-[[batsman]]. Ramdin formerly captained the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], [[Guyana Amazon Warriors]], [[Trinidad and Tobago national cricket team|Trinidad and Tobago]] and the [[Combined Campuses and Colleges cricket team|Combined Campuses and Colleges]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Denesh Ramdin Announced Retirement from All-forms of Cricket |url=https://www.timesofsports.com/cricket/news/denesh-ramdin-announced-retirement-from-all-forms-of-cricket/ |access-date=18 July 2022 |work=Times of Sports}}</ref> He was a member of the West Indies team that won both the [[2012 T20 World Cup]] and the [[2016 T20 World Cup]]. <br />

<br />
== Early career==<br />
<br />
Ramdin began playing cricket as a fast bowler but took up wicket-keeping because he was bored when not bowling. According to Ramdin he did not receive much coaching early in his career, though he did have sessions with [[David Williams (cricketer, born 1963)|David Williams]] and [[Jeff Dujon]] in which he worked on his wicket-keeping.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/214408.html |title='I used to get bored when I wasn't keeping' |first1=Nagraj |last1=Gollapudi |first2=Denesh |last2=Ramdin |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=27 July 2005 |access-date=10 June 2012}}</ref> He eventually captained both the West Indies' and Trinidad at Under-19 level.<br />
<br />
When the West Indies toured Sri Lanka in [[West Indies cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2005|July and August 2005]], the 19-year-old Ramdin was the only wicket-keeper in the 15-man squad, taking over from the incumbent [[Courtney Browne]].<ref name="new face">{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/211465.html |title=Ramdin included in West Indian squad |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=19 June 2005 |access-date=22 May 2012}}</ref> Brown did not play international cricket after he was replaced by Ramdin and retired later that year at the age of 34.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/223200.html |title=Courtney Browne retires |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=26 October 2006 |access-date=22 May 2012}}</ref> At the time of his selection, Ramdin had played in just [[first-class cricket|first-class]] games of experience with three scores above fifty including one century.<ref name="new face"/> On Test debut Ramdin scored 56&nbsp;runs before he was bowled by [[Gayan Wijekoon]] who was also playing his first Test.<ref>{{citation |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/82/82991.html |title=f48731 t1755 Sri Lanka v West Indies: West Indies in Sri Lanka 2005 (1st Test) |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=10 June 2012}}</ref> The West Indies embarked on the tour with only three of their first choice players (aside from captain [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] the rest of the West Indies players had just one Test century between them) because of a dispute over sponsorship and as expected lost both Tests.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/289037.html |title=Sri Lanka v West Indies, 2005 |first=Tony |last=Cozier |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=10 June 2012}}</ref> The [[Indian Oil Cup 2005]] with Sri Lanka and India followed the Tests and Ramdin played his first ODIs in the tournament.<ref>{{citation |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/83/83168.html |title=a16759 o2263 India v West Indies: Indian Oil Cup 2005 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=10 June 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
The West Indies [[West Indian cricket team in Australia in 2005–06|toured Australia]] in October and November 2005.

<br />
== Dropped ==<br />
<br />
At this time Ramdin was competed to be first-choice wicket-keeper spot to [[Carlton Baugh]] in ODIs. Ultimately, only Ramdin was selected for the [[2007 Cricket World Cup|2007 World Cup]]. However, Ramdin went on to cement his place as the West Indies wicket keeper in all forms of the game and was the vice-captain at one point, following the resignation from that position of [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]]. Ramdin scored his maiden Test century against [[England cricket team|England]] in the fourth Test at Barbados in 2009, going on to score 166 in a drawn match. He hit two centuries in the [[2009–10 Regional Four Day Competition]] in the West Indies, at an average of 113.33, amassing 340 runs in 6 innings.<br />
<br />
When South Africa [[South African cricket team in West Indies in 2010|toured in May and June 2010]] Ramdin managed 63&nbsp;runs in the three-Test series and 34&nbsp;runs from five ODIs.<ref name=recall>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/515658.html |title=Ramdin awaits Windies recall |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=18 May 2011 |access-date=28 May 2012}}</ref> The run of poor form meant Ramdin's central contract with the [[West Indies Cricket Board]] (WICB) was not renewed in August 2010.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/475334.html |title=Sarwan, Taylor and Ramdin cut from WI contract list |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=31 August 2010 |access-date=28 May 2012}}</ref> After a 2010–11 season in which Ramdin scored 460&nbsp;runs in the Regional Four Day Competition,<ref name=recall/> he was recalled to the team for the [[Indian cricket team in the West Indies in 2011|ODI series against India]].<ref name=replaced>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-v-australia-2012/content/story/557025.html |title=Ramdin injured, replaced by Baugh for ODIs |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=11 March 2012 |access-date=28 May 2012}}</ref> When the WICB announced its list of centrally contracted players in October 2011 Ramdin was not included.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/535292.html |title=Samuels, Fidel Edwards given WICB contracts |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=22 October 2011 |access-date=28 May 2012}}</ref><br />

When I look back, today perhaps with age, I have become wiser and would not have taken that piece of paper out of my trouser's pocket,"..."I have put the past behind and now myself and Viv are good friends."<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 July 2015 |title=Denesh Ramdin regrets flashing "Yea Viv Talk Nah" note |url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/news/denesh-ramdin-regrets-flashing-yea-viv-talk-nah-note-304076 |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=cricketcountry.com |publisher=[[Press Trust of India]] |language=en}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In the [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy]], Ramdin claimed a catch from batsman [[Misbah-ul-Haq]]. However television replays showed that the ball was not caught, and the matter was referred to the match referee. Ramdin was fined his full match fee and suspended for two matches.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2013/content/current/story/640499.html |title=Ramdin suspended for two ODIs |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=10 June 2013 |access-date=11 June 2013}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In July 2013, Ramdin was dropped from West Indian squad for the first two ODIs against Pakistan in Guyana. Ramdin has hit only one half-century since his recall to the West Indies one-day side in October 2011 and has been dropped in several recent matches both during the [[ICC Champions Trophy|Champions Trophy]] and the home tri-series which also featured India and Sri Lanka. In Ramdin's absence West Indies used opener Johnson Charles behind the stumps, and haven't picked any specialist wicketkeeper in the squad.<br />
<br />
In December 2013, Ramdin scored 107, in the third test against New Zealand at [[Seddon Park]]. This is the highest score by a West Indian wicketkeeper vs New Zealand in test match cricket. Ramdin's knock was also his third century in an away test, equalling [[Clyde Walcott]]'s record for most overseas hundreds by a West Indies wicketkeeper.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hamilton |first=Ian Anderson in |date=2013-12-19 |title=Denesh Ramdin to the rescue for West Indies |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/9537472/Denesh-Ramdin-to-the-rescue-for-West-Indies |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=Stuff |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=19 December 2013 |title=Denesh Ramdin equals record for most tons by a Windies keeper away from home |url=https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/denesh-ramdin-equals-record-for-most-tons-by-a-windies-keeper-away-from-home-1525820 |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=NDTVSports.com |language=en}}</ref> <br />
<br />
His 200-run partnership with [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] was only the eighth double-century partnership for the sixth wicket by West Indies batsmen.<ref name=":0" /> Ramdin and Chanderpaul came together with the West Indies score at 86 for 5 – the lowest score at which a West Indies pair, where the batsmen added 200 or more runs for the sixth or lower wickets, had begun the partnership.<br />
<br />
In March 2014, Ramdin notched his maiden hundred in the third and final One-Day International against England. Ramdin scored 128, the first century by a West Indies wicket-keeper in ODIs though the regional side eventually fell short by 25 runs, to concede the series 2–1.<br />
<br />
In August 2014, Ramdin scored 169 in the third and final ODI against Bangladesh at [[Warner Park Sporting Complex|Warner Park]], [[Basseterre]], [[Saint Kitts]]. He then and there notched the highest ODI score by a West Indian batsman at home in the Caribbean surpassing Desmond Haynes' 152 not out against [[India cricket team|India]] at [[Bourda]] in [[Georgetown, Guyana|Georgetown]], [[Guyana]] in 1989. This was also the highest ODI score by a West Indian wicketkeeper. Ramdin's hit 11 sixes in his knock, the second highest by a West Indies batsman in ODIs, one short of [[Xavier Marshall]]'s 12 sixes against [[Canada cricket team|Canada]] in 2008. Ramdin's 11 sixes in this match are also the highest by a wicketkeeper in an innings, beating [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]]'s 10 sixes against [[Sri Lanka cricket team|Sri Lanka]] at [[Sawai Mansingh Stadium]] in [[Jaipur]] in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-08-26 |title=Ramdin creates West Indies' home records |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/21432503/denesh-ramdin-creates-west-indies-home-records |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=ESPN |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-08-26 |title=Ramdin and Bravo bully Bangladesh as Windies claim series |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-cricket-bangladesh-idUKKBN0GQ07520140826 |access-date=2023-04-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-08-26 |title=Rampaging Ramdin racks up records |url=https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/sports/20140826/rampaging-ramdin-racks-records |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=jamaica-gleaner.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
In March 2014, Ramdin affected four stumpings in Pakistan's innings at [[Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium]] in [[Mirpur Model Thana|Mirpur]] equalling the record for the most stumpings in a T20 international. He was named as wicket keeper of the 'Team of the Tournament' by Cricinfo.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-t20/content/story/735589.html|title=Power, pace and spin: The team of the tournament}}</ref> [[Kamran Akmal]] also had affected four stumpings in a match against the [[Netherlands cricket team|Netherlands]] in the 2009 World T20.<br />
<br />
== Test and franchise captaincy ==<br />
<br />
In May 2014, Ramdin was named captain of the Test side and took over from [[Darren Sammy]] who remained the T20 captain. West Indies then had three separate captains for all three formats with [[Dwayne Bravo]] as ODI skipper. Ramdin's first assignment was the home series against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] which began with a 2–1 series loss in June 2014. <br />
<br />
Ramdin was also appointed, in May 2014, as captain of [[Caribbean Premier League]] outfit [[Guyana Amazon Warriors]].<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=23 May 2014 |title=Ramdin to Captain Guyana Amazon Warriors in LCPL 2014 |url=https://www.inewsguyana.com/ramdin-to-captain-guyana-amazon-warriors-in-lcpl-2014/ |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=I News Guyana |publisher= |language=en}}</ref> He later skippered the [[Combined Campuses and Colleges cricket team|Combined Campuses and Colleges]] in their [[2022–23 Super50 Cup|2022-23 Super50 Cup]] campaign.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramphal |first=Vidia |date=28 October 2022 |title=Ramdin captains CCC team in Super50 Cup {{!}} Loop Trinidad & Tobago |url=https://tt.loopnews.com/content/ramdin-captains-ccc-team-super50-cup |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=Loop News |language=en}}</ref><br />

== Controversy ==<br />
In January 2024, [[David Teeger]], The team's Jewish captain had been removed from captaincy by [[Cricket South Africa]]. Cricket South Africa stated that protests related to the [[Gaza war]] in the [[2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup]], which hosted by South Africa, are likely to focus on Teeger, who had shown his support to Israel before.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-01-12 |title=South African national cricket team removes Jewish captain |url=https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-781959 |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=The Jerusalem Post {{!}} JPost.com |language=en-US}}</ref> The decision caused outrage from the [[South African Jewish Board of Deputies]] and accused Cricket South Africa of Antisemitism.<ref>{{Cite web |title=South Africa axing of U19 captain David Teeger ahead of Cricket World Cup sparks antisemitism row |url=https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/13046988/south-africa-axing-of-u19-captain-david-teeger-ahead-of-cricket-world-cup-sparks-antisemitism-row |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=Sky Sports |language=en}}</ref><br />

{{Main|History of the England cricket team to 1939|History of the England cricket team from 1945}}<br />
[[File:All-England_Eleven.jpg|thumb|The All-England Eleven in 1846]]<br />
<br />
The first recorded incidence of a team with a claim to represent England comes from 9 July 1739 when an "All-England" team, which consisted of 11 gentlemen from any part of England exclusive of [[Kent county cricket teams|Kent]], played against "the Unconquerable County" of Kent and lost by a margin of "very few notches".<ref>Waghorn, pp.22–23.</ref> Such matches were repeated on numerous occasions for the best part of a century.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gutenberg.org/files/50373/50373-h/50373-h.htm|title=TOSSING FOR INNINGS. CRICKET EDITED BY HORACE G. HUTCHINSON}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1846 [[William Clarke (cricketer, born 1798)|William Clarke]] formed the [[William Clarke's All-England Eleven|All-England Eleven]]. This team eventually competed against a [[United All-England Eleven]] with annual matches occurring between 1847 and 1856.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/team/all-england-eleven-787|title=All England Eleven Cricket Team}}</ref> These matches were arguably the most important contest of the English season if judged by the quality of the players.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/sports/cricket-sport|title=cricket ''Britannica.com''}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Early tours===<br />
[[File:England in North America 1859.jpg|left|thumb|The 1859 English team in North America]]<br />
<br />
The first overseas tour occurred in September 1859 with [[English cricket team in North America in 1859|England touring North America]]. This team had six players from the All-England Eleven, six from the United All-England Eleven and was captained by [[George Parr (cricketer)|George Parr]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dreamcricket.com/articles/history-of-american-cricket/150th-anniversary-of-the-first-english-cricket-tour-of-north-america/|title=150th anniversary of the first English cricket tour of North America|date=17 October 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/nov/11/cricket-tour-1859-north-america|title=One tour to start them all: how English cricketers blazed a trail 150 years ago|work=The Guardian |date=11 November 2009 |last1=Keating |first1=Frank }}</ref><br />
<br />
With the outbreak of the [[American Civil War]], attention turned elsewhere. [[English cricket team in Australia in 1861–62|English tourists visited Australia in 1861–62]] with this first tour organised as a commercial venture by Messrs Spiers and Pond, restaurateurs of [[Melbourne]]. Most matches played during tours prior to 1877 were "against odds", with the opposing team fielding more than 11 players to make for a more even contest.<ref name="content-uk.cricinfo.com">{{cite web |date=19 September 2006 |title=England v Australia 1864&nbsp;– 1888 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/england-v-australia-1861-1888-259952 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106154837/http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ausveng/content/story/259952.html |archive-date=6 January 2009 |access-date=5 February 2008 |publisher=[[ESPNcricinfo]]}}</ref> This first Australian tour was mostly against odds of at least 18/11.<br />
<br />
[[File:English cricket team 1861.jpg|right|thumb|The first England team to tour southern Australia in 1861–62]]<br />
<br />
The tour was so successful that Parr led a [[English cricket team in Australia in 1863–64|second tour in 1863–64]]. [[James Lillywhite]] led a subsequent England team which sailed on the P&O steamship ''Poonah'' on 21 September 1876. They played a combined Australian XI, for once on even terms of 11-a-side. The match, starting on 15 March 1877 at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] came to be regarded as the inaugural Test match. The combined Australian XI won this Test match by 45 runs with [[Charles Bannerman]] of Australia scoring the first Test century. At the time, the match was promoted as ''James Lillywhite's XI v Combined Victoria and New South Wales''.<ref name="content-uk.cricinfo.com"/> The teams played a return match on the same ground at Easter, 1877, when Lillywhite's team avenged their loss with a victory by four wickets. The first Test match on English soil occurred in 1880 with England victorious; this was the first time England fielded a fully representative side with [[W. G. Grace]] included in the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154315.html|title=Australia in England 1880|publisher=[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]|access-date=5 February 2008|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708035234/http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154315.html|archive-date=8 July 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

As a result of this loss, the tour of [[1982–83 Ashes series|1882–83]] was dubbed by England captain [[Ivo Bligh]] as "the quest to regain the ashes". England, with a mixture of amateurs and professionals, won the series 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketcrowd.com/displayvideo.html?ccvideo=2583&ccdesc=The+Ashes+story%3A+How+it+all+began|title=The Ashes Story: How it all began}}</ref><ref name="Wisden">{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154318.html|title=England in Australia, 1882–83|publisher=[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]|access-date=5 February 2008|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119192012/http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154318.html|archive-date=19 January 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> Bligh was presented with an urn that contained some ashes, which have variously been said to be of a [[bail (cricket)|bail]], [[cricket ball|ball]] or even a woman's veil, and so [[The Ashes]] was born.

England lost their first series of the new century to Australia in 1901–02 Ashes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1901-02-60284|title=The Ashes 1901/02}}</ref> Australia also won the 1902 series, which was memorable for exciting cricket, including [[Gilbert Jessop]] scoring a Test century in just 70 minutes. England regained the Ashes in 1904 under the captaincy of [[Pelham Warner]]. [[R. E. Foster]] scored 287 on his debut and [[Wilfred Rhodes]] took 15 wickets in a match.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1903-04-60287|title= The 1904 Ashes}}</ref> In 1905–06, England lost 4–1 against South Africa. England avenged the defeat in 1907, when they won the series 1–0 under the captaincy of Foster. However, they lost the 1909 Ashes series against Australia, using 25 players in the process.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1909-60292|title=The Ashes 1909}}</ref> England also lost to South Africa, with [[Jack Hobbs]] scoring his first of 15 centuries on the tour.<br />
<br />
===1910s===<br />
England toured Australia in 1911–12 and beat their opponents 4–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1911-12-60295|title=The Ashes 1911/12}}</ref> The team included the likes of Rhodes, Hobbs, [[Frank Woolley]] and [[Sydney Barnes]]. England lost the first match of the series but bounced back and won the next four Tests. This proved to be the last Ashes series before the war.<br />
<br />
The 1912 season saw England take part in a unique experiment. A nine-Test triangular tournament involving England, South Africa and Australia was set up. The series was hampered by a very wet summer and player disputes however and the tournament was considered a failure with the ''Daily Telegraph'' stating:<ref>{{cite web |date=27 September 2006 |title=England v Australia 1890&nbsp;– 1914 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/england-v-australia-1890-1914-260677 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081008035811/http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ausveng/content/story/260677.html |archive-date=8 October 2008 |access-date=5 February 2008 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />

<br />
The 1930 Ashes series saw a young [[Don Bradman]] dominate the tour, scoring 974 runs in his seven Test innings. He scored 254 at Lord's, 334 at [[Headingley Cricket Ground|Headingley]] and 232 at [[The Oval]]. Australia regained the Ashes winning the series 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1930-60314|title=The Ashes 1930}}</ref> As a result of Bradman's prolific run-scoring the England captain [[Douglas Jardine]] chose to develop the already existing [[leg theory]] into fast leg theory, or [[bodyline]], as a tactic to stop Bradman. Fast leg theory involved bowling fast balls directly at the batsman's body. The batsman would need to defend himself, and if he touched the ball with the bat, he risked being caught by one of a large number of fielders placed on the leg side.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/stories/bodyline-cricket-series-1932-33#:~:text=Bodyline%20was%20an%20aggressive%20fast,way%20as%20fast%20as%20possible.|title=Bodyline cricket series, 1932-33|date=29 October 2015 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Using Jardine's fast leg theory, England won the next Ashes series 4–1, but complaints about the Bodyline tactic caused crowd disruption on the tour, and threats of diplomatic action from the [[Cricket Australia|Australian Cricket Board]], which during the tour sent the following cable to the MCC in London:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/02/07/1075854114533.html |title=It just wasn't cricket |work=[[Sydney Morning Herald|The Sun-Herald]] |access-date=4 December 2006 |date=8 February 2004}}</ref><br />

{{blockquote|Bodyline bowling assumed such proportions as to menace best interests of game, making protection of body by batsmen the main consideration.

<br />
Later, Jardine was removed from the captaincy and the [[Laws of Cricket]] changed so that no more than one fast ball aimed at the body was permitted per over, and having more than two fielders behind square leg was banned.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/why-the-1932-33-bodyline-series-became-crickets-darkest-chapter/articleshow/113434312.cms#:~:text=Despite%20winning%20the%20series%204,infamous%20episodes%20in%20cricket%20history.|title=Why the 1932-33 'Bodyline' series became cricket's darkest chapter|work=The Times of India |date=17 September 2024 }}</ref><br />

===1940s===<br />
Test cricket resumed after the war in 1946, and England won their first match back against India. However, they struggled in the 1946–47 Ashes series, losing 3–0 in Australia under [[Wally Hammond]]'s captaincy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1946-47-60337|title=The Ashes 1946/47}}</ref> England beat South Africa 3–0 in 1947 with [[Denis Compton]] scoring 1,187 runs in the series.<br />

Their fortunes against Australia changed on the 1953 Ashes tour as they won the series 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1953-60359|title=The Ashes 1953}}</ref> England did not lose a series between their 1950–51 and 1958–59 tours of Australia and secured famous victory in [[English cricket team in Australia in 1954–55|1954–55]] under the captaincy of [[Len Hutton]], thanks to [[Frank Tyson]] whose 6/85 at Sydney and 7/27 at Melbourne are remembered as the fastest bowling ever seen in Australia. The 1956 series was remembered for the bowling of [[Jim Laker]] who took 46 wickets at an average of 9.62, including figures of 19/90 at [[Old Trafford Cricket Ground|Old Trafford]]. After drawing to South Africa, England defeated the West Indies and New Zealand comfortably.<br />
<br />
The England team then left for Australia in the 1958–59 season with a team that had been hailed as the strongest ever to leave on an Ashes tour but lost the series 4–0 as [[Richie Benaud]]'s revitalised Australians were too strong, with England struggling with the bat throughout the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1958-59-60380|title=The Ashes 1958/59}}</ref><br />

On 24 August 1959, England inflicted its only 5–0 whitewash over [[India national cricket team|India]]. All out for 194 at The Oval, India lost the last test by an innings. England's batsman [[Ken Barrington]] and [[Colin Cowdrey]] both had an excellent series with the bat, with Barrington scoring 357 runs across the series and Cowdrey scoring 344.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportstats.com.au/zArchive/1950s/1959EI/1959EIcov.pdf|title=India in England 1959.

<br />
===1960s===<br />
The early and middle 1960s were poor periods for English cricket. Despite England's strength on paper, Australia held the Ashes and the West Indies dominated England in the early part of the decade. May stood down as captain in 1961 following the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1961|1961 Ashes defeat]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1961-60390|title=The Ashes 1961}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/657117/benaud-s-manchester-miracle|title=Benaud's Manchester miracle}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Ted Dexter]] succeeded him as captain but England continued to suffer indifferent results. In 1961–62, they beat Pakistan, but also lost to India.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-pakistan-1961-62-61762|title=England tour of Pakistan 1961/62}}</ref> The following year saw England and Australia tie the 1962–63 Ashes series 1–1, meaning Australia retained the urn.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1962-63-60396|title=The Ashes 1962/63}}</ref> Despite beating New Zealand 3–0, England went on to lose to the West Indies, and again failed in the 1964 Ashes, losing the home series 1–0, which marked the end of Dexter's captaincy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1964-60402|title=The 1964 Ashes}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, from 1968 to 1971 they played 27 consecutive Test matches without defeat, winning 9 and drawing 18 (including the abandoned Test at Melbourne in 1970–71). The sequence began when they drew with Australia at Lord's in the Second Test of the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1968|1968 Ashes series]] and ended in 1971 when [[Indian cricket team in England in 1971|India]] won the Third Test at The Oval by four wickets. They played 13 Tests with only one defeat immediately beforehand and so played a total of 40 consecutive Tests with only one defeat, dating from their innings victory over the West Indies at The Oval in 1966. During this period they beat New Zealand, India, the West Indies, and Pakistan, and under [[Ray Illingworth]]'s leadership, regained [[The Ashes]] from Australia in 1970–71.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1970-71-60433|title=1970/71 Ashes}}</ref><br />

<br />
The mid-1970s were more turbulent. Illingworth and several others had refused to tour India in 1972–73 which led to a clamour for Illingworth's job by the end of that summer&nbsp;– England had just been beaten 2–0 by a flamboyant West Indies side&nbsp;– with several England players well over 35. [[Mike Denness]] was the surprising choice but only lasted 18 months; his results against poor opposition were good, but England were badly exposed as ageing and lacking in good fast bowling against the 1974–75 Australians, losing that series 4–1 to lose the Ashes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1974-75-60453|title=The Ashes 1974/75}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1008601/call-in-colin|title=Call in Colin}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/rewind-when-jeff-thomson-and-dennis-lillee-blew-england-away-788525|title=Shell-shocked and bloodied}}</ref><br />

Denness was replaced in 1975 by [[Tony Greig]]. While he managed to avoid losing to Australia, his side were largely thrashed the following year by the young and very much upcoming West Indies for whom Greig's infamous "grovel" remark acted as motivation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/who-s-grovelling-now-134960|title=Who's grovelling now?}}</ref> Greig's finest hour as England's captain was the 1976–77 win over India in India.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/nov/11/england-india-1976-1977-tour|title=How England managed to emerge victorious on the 1976-77 tour to India|work=The Guardian |date=11 November 2012 |last1=Selvey |first1=Mike }}</ref> When Greig was discovered as being instrumental in World Series Cricket, he was sacked, and replaced by [[Mike Brearley]].<br />
<br />
Brearley's side showed again the hyperbole that is often spoken when one side dominates in cricket. While his side of 1977–80 contained some young players who went on to become England greats, most notably future captains [[Ian Botham]], [[David Gower]] and [[Graham Gooch]], their opponents were often very much weakened by the absence of their World Series players, especially in 1978, when England drew New Zealand 1–1 and Pakistan 2–0 before thrashing what was effectively Australia's 2nd XI 5–1 in 1978–79.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1978-79-60476|title=The Ashes 1978/79}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/pakistan-tour-of-england-1978-61457|title=Pakistan tour of England 1978}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-new-zealand-1977-78-61774|title=England tour of New Zealand 1977/78}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/rewind-to-1978-botham-to-boycott-i-ve-run-you-out-you-604169|title='I've run you out, you ****'}}</ref><br />

===1980s===<br />
[[File:Trent Bridge Test Match, 1981- Alderman to Gower (geograph 2489133).jpg|thumb|left|Terry Alderman bowling to David Gower during the 1981 Ashes test at Trent Bridge]]<br />
The England team, with Brearley's exit in 1980, was never truly settled throughout the 1980s, which will probably be remembered as a low point for the team. While some of the great players like Botham, Gooch and Gower had fine careers, the team seldom succeeded in beating good opposition throughout the decade and did not score a home Test victory (except against minnows Sri Lanka) between September 1985 and July 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1985-1985/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1985 in Tests - England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1986-1986/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1986 in Tests - England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1987-1987/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1987 in Tests - England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1988-1988/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1988 in Tests - England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1989-1989/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1989 in Tests - England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/year/team-match-results/1990-1990/test-matches-1?team=1|title=Match results in 1990 in Tests - England}}</ref><br />
<br />
Botham took over the captaincy in 1980 and they put up a good fight against the West Indies, losing a five match Test series 1–0, although England were humbled in the return series. After scoring a pair in the first Test against Australia, Botham lost the captaincy due to his poor form, and was replaced by Brearley. Botham returned to form and played exceptionally in the remainder of the series, being named man of the match in the third, fourth and fifth Tests. The series became known as Botham's Ashes as England recorded a 3–1 victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/jul/02/ian-botham-ashes-1981-mike-brearley|title='Ian Botham's Ashes': The myths, the legends and me|work=The Guardian |date=2 July 2011 |last1=Brearley |first1=Mike }}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Keith Fletcher]] took over as captain in 1981, but England lost his first series in charge against India. [[Bob Willis]] took over as captain in 1982 and enjoyed victories over India and Pakistan, but lost the Ashes after Australia clinched the series 2–1. England hosted the World Cup in 1983 and reached the semi-finals, but their Test form remained poor, as they suffered defeats against New Zealand, Pakistan and the West Indies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/prudential-world-cup-1983-60832/england-vs-india-1st-semi-final-65088/live-cricket-score|title=England vs India, 1st Semi-Final at Manchester, Jun 22 1983 - Match Result}}</ref><br />
<br />
Gower took over as skipper in 1984 and led the team to a 2–1 victory over India.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/that-1980s-sports-blog/2016/nov/07/england-india-1984-disarray-triumph-cricket|title=England went to India in 1984 in disarray but came home with a famous victory|work=The Guardian |date=7 November 2016 |last1=Pye |first1=Steven }}</ref> They went on to win the 1985 Ashes 3–1, although after this came a poor run of form.

In 1986, [[Micky Stewart]] was appointed the first full-time England coach. England beat New Zealand, but there was little hope of them retaining the Ashes in 1986–87. However, despite being described as a team that 'can't bat, can't bowl and can't field', they went on to win the series 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/nov/15/england-australia-ashes-1987-alive-testicular-cancer-anthony-mcgowan|title=Watching England beat Australia in the 1986-87 Ashes kept me alive|work=The Guardian |date=15 November 2021 |last1=McGowan |first1=Anthony }}</ref><br />
<br />
After losing consecutive series against Pakistan, England drew a three match Test series against New Zealand 0–0. They reached the final of the 1987 World Cup, but [[1987 Cricket World Cup final|lost by seven runs against Australia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/38710046|title=Australia receive medals for 1987 Cricket World Cup win over England|work=BBC Sport |date=22 January 2017 }}</ref> After losing 4–0 to the West Indies, England lost the Ashes to a resurgent Australia led by Allan Border.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1989-60559|title=The Ashes 1989}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/rob-smyth-the-ghosts-of-the-1989-ashes-645253|title=The ghosts of '89}}</ref> With the likes of Gooch banned following a rebel tour to South Africa, a new look England side suffered defeat again against the West Indies, although this time by a margin of 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-wisden-trophy-1989-90-60565|title=The Wisden Trophy 1989/90}}</ref><br />
<br />
===1990s===<br />
If the 1980s were a low point for English Test cricket, then the 1990s were only a slight improvement. The arrival of Gooch as captain in 1990 forced a move toward more professionalism and especially fitness though it took some time for old habits to die. Creditable performances against India and New Zealand in 1990 were followed by a hard-fought draw against the 1991 West Indies and a strong performance in the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]] in which the England team finished as [[1992 Cricket World Cup final|runners-up]] for the second consecutive World Cup, but landmark losses against Australia in 1990–91 and especially Pakistan in 1992 showed England up badly in terms of bowling. So bad was England's bowling in 1993 that [[Rod Marsh]] described England's pace attack at one point as "pie throwers".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/cricket/2002/oct/04news.htm|title=News Roll ''reddif.com''}}</ref> Having lost three of the first four Tests played in England in 1993, Gooch resigned to be replaced by [[Michael Atherton]].1992 also saw Scotland sever ties with the England and Wales team, and begin to compete as the [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland national team]].<ref name="ScoCA">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Countries/24.html Scotland] at CricketArchive</ref><br />
<br />
More selectorial problems abounded during Atherton's reign as new chairman of selectors and coach Ray Illingworth (then into his 60s) assumed almost sole responsibility for the team off the field. The youth policy which had seen England emerge from the West Indies tour of 1993–94 with some credit (though losing to a seasoned Windies team) was abandoned and players such as Gatting and Gooch were persisted with when well into their 30s and 40s. England continued to do well at home against weaker opponents such as India, New Zealand and a West Indies side beginning to fade but struggled badly against improving sides like Pakistan and South Africa. Atherton had offered his resignation after losing the 1997 Ashes series 3–2 having been 1–0 up after two matches&nbsp;– eventually to resign one series later in early 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/the-ashes-1997-60645|title=The Ashes 1997}}</ref> England, looking for talent, went through a whole raft of new players during this period, such as [[Ronnie Irani]], [[Adam Hollioake]], [[Craig White]], [[Graeme Hick]] and [[Mark Ramprakash]]. [[Alec Stewart]] took the reins as captain in 1998, but another losing Ashes series and early World Cup exit cost him Test and ODI captaincy in 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/11729495/englands-1999-cricket-world-cup-nightmare-20-years-on-from-last-time-england-hosted|title=England's 1999 Cricket World Cup nightmare: 20 years on from last time England hosted}}</ref> This should not detract from the 1998 home Test series where England showed great fortitude to beat a powerful South African side 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/darren-gough-on-headingley-1998-572499|title=Rhino's breakthrough}}</ref><br />
<br />
Another reason for their poor performances were the demands of [[County Championship|County Cricket]] teams on their players, meaning that England could rarely field a full-strength team on their tours. This eventually led to the [[England and Wales Cricket Board|ECB]] taking over from the MCC as the governing body of England and the implementation of central contracts. By 1999, with coach David Lloyd resigning after the World Cup exit and new captain [[Nasser Hussain]] just appointed, England hit rock bottom (literally ranked as the lowest-rated Test nation) after losing 2–1 to New Zealand in shambolic fashion.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-tour-of-england-1999-62074|title=New Zealand tour of England 1999}}</ref> Hussain was booed on the Oval balcony as the crowd jeered "We've got the worst team in the world" to the tune of "[[He's Got the Whole World in His Hands]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-tour-of-england-1999-62074|title=New Zealand tour of England 1999}}</ref><br />
<br />
===2000s===<br />
[[File:Lords test match.jpg|thumb|left|England v New Zealand test match at [[Lord's]] in 2004]]<br />
Central contracts were installed – reducing players workloads – and following the arrival of Zimbabwean coach [[Duncan Fletcher]], England thrashed the fallen West Indies [[West Indian cricket team in England in 2000|3–1]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-england-and-scotland-2000-61879|title=West Indies tour of England and Scotland 2000}}</ref> England's results in Asia improved that winter with series wins against both [[History of cricket in Pakistan from 2001#England 2000–01|Pakistan]] and [[English cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2000–01|Sri Lanka]]. Hussain's side had a far harder edge to it, avoiding the anticipated "Greenwash" in the [[Australian cricket team in England in 2001|2001 Ashes series]] against the all-powerful Australian team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/australia-maintain-icc-test-championship-lead-with-ashes-victory-97250|title=Australia maintain ICC Test Championship lead with Ashes victory}}</ref> The nucleus the side was slowly coming together as players such as Hussain himself, [[Graham Thorpe]], [[Darren Gough]] and [[Ashley Giles]] began to be regularly selected. By 2003 though, having endured [[English cricket team in Australia in 2002–03|another Ashes drubbing]] as well as another first-round exit from the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]], Hussain resigned as captain after one Test against [[South African cricket team in England in 2003|South Africa]].<br />
<br />
[[Michael Vaughan]] took over, with players encouraged to express themselves. England won five consecutive Test series prior to facing Australia in the [[2005 Ashes series]], [[International cricket in 2005#ICC Championship tables in May 2005|taking the team to second place]] in the [[ICC Test Championship]] table. During this period England defeated the West Indies [[West Indian cricket team in England in 2004|home]] and [[English cricket team in West Indies in 2003–04|away]], [[New Zealand cricket team in England in 2004|New Zealand]], and [[Bangladeshi cricket team in England in 2005|Bangladesh]] at home, and [[English cricket team in South Africa in 2004–05|South Africa]] in South Africa. In June 2005, England played its first ever [[Twenty20 International|T20 international match]], [[Australian cricket team in England in 2005#England v Australia (13 June)|defeating Australia by 100 runs]]. Later that year, England defeated Australia 2–1 in a thrilling series to regain the Ashes for the first time in 16 years, having lost them in 1989.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jul/06/2005-alternative-history-greatest-ashes|title=2005 and all that: an alternative history of the greatest Ashes|work=The Guardian |date=6 July 2015 |last1=Bull |first1=Andy }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/oct/14/the-spin-england-cricket-kevin-pietersen|title=The 2005 Ashes was so special because everyone watched, and everyone could|work=The Guardian |date=14 October 2014 |last1=Bull |first1=Andy }}</ref> Following the 2005 Ashes win, the team suffered from a spate of serious injuries to key players such as Vaughan, Giles, [[Andrew Flintoff]] and [[Simon Jones (cricketer)|Simon Jones]]. As a result, the team underwent an enforced period of transition. A [[English cricket team in Pakistan in 2005–06|2–0 defeat in Pakistan]] was followed by two drawn away series with [[English cricket team in India in 2005–06|India]] and [[Sri Lankan cricket team in England in 2006|Sri Lanka]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/daniel-brigham-when-ashes-winning-england-were-derailed-by-pakistan-929015|title=When Ashes-winning England were derailed by Pakistan}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[Pakistani cricket team in England in 2006|home Test series victory against Pakistan]] in July and August 2006, several promising new players emerged.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/pakistan-in-england-test-series-2006-224903|title=Pakistan in England Test Series 2006}}</ref> Most notable were the left-arm orthodox spin bowler [[Monty Panesar]], the first [[Sikh]] to play Test cricket for England, and left-handed opening batsman [[Alastair Cook]]. The [[2006–07 Ashes series]] was keenly anticipated and was expected to provide a level of competition comparable to the 2005 series. In the event, England, captained by Flintoff who was deputising for the injured Vaughan, lost all five Tests to concede the first Ashes whitewash in 86 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jan/05/ashes2006.cricket2|title=Abject England roll over|work=The Guardian |date=5 January 2007 |last1=Selvey |first1=Mike }}</ref><br />
<br />
In the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]], England lost to most of the Test playing nations they faced, beating only the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] and [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]], although they also avoided defeat by any of the non-Test playing nations. Even so, the unimpressive nature of most of their victories in the tournament, combined with heavy defeats by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, left many commentators criticising the manner in which the England team approached the one-day game. Coach Duncan Fletcher resigned after eight years in the job as a result and was succeeded by former [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] coach [[Peter Moores (cricketer)|Peter Moores]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/apr/19/england-cricket-team-cricket|title=Peter Moores unveiled as England cricket coach for second time|work=The Guardian |date=19 April 2014 }}</ref><br />
[[File:Flintoff bowling Siddle, 2009 Ashes 2.jpg|thumb|right|[[Andrew Flintoff]] bowling out [[Peter Siddle]]'s during the 2nd 2009 Ashes Test at Lord's]]<br />
In 2007–08, England toured [[English cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2007–08|Sri Lanka]] and [[English cricket team in New Zealand in 2007–08|New Zealand]], losing the first series 1–0 and winning the second 2–1. These series were followed up at home in May 2008 with a [[New Zealand cricket team in England in 2008|2–0 home series win against New Zealand]], with the results easing pressure on Moores – who was not at ease with his team, particularly star batsman [[Kevin Pietersen]]. Pietersen succeeded Vaughan as captain in June 2008, after England had been well beaten by [[South African cricket team in England in 2008|South Africa at home]]. The poor relationship between the two came to a head on the [[English cricket team in India in 2008–09|2008–09 tour to India]]. England lost the series 1–0 and both men resigned their positions, although Pietersen remained a member of the England team. Moores was replaced as coach by Zimbabwean [[Andy Flower]]. Against this background, England toured the [[English cricket team in West Indies in 2008–09|West Indies]] under the captaincy of [[Andrew Strauss]] and, in a disappointing performance, lost the Test series 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-west-indies-2008-09-352657|title=England tour of the West Indies 2008/09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/espncricinfo-awards-2009-test-bowling-winner-jerome-taylor-5-for-11-vs-england-448056|title=ESPNcricinfo Awards 2009 Test bowling winner: Jerome Taylor swings us back to the '80s}}</ref><br />

==Governing body==<br />
{{Main|England and Wales Cricket Board}}<br />
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is the governing body of English and Welsh cricket and the England cricket team. The Board has been operating since 1 January 1997 and represents England on the [[International Cricket Council]]. The ECB is also responsible for the generation of income from the sale of tickets, sponsorship and broadcasting rights, primarily in relation to the England team. The ECB's income in the 2006 calendar year was £77&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://static.ecb.co.uk/files/ecb-annual-report-accounts-2006-group-financial-statements-1846.pdf |title=ECB Annual Report and Accounts 2006 |publisher=[[England and Wales Cricket Board]] |access-date=7 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927221616/http://static.ecb.co.uk/files/ecb-annual-report-accounts-2006-group-financial-statements-1846.pdf |archive-date=27 September 2007 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Prior to 1997, the [[Test and County Cricket Board]] (TCCB) was the governing body for the English team. Apart from in Test matches, when touring abroad, the England team officially played as [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] up to and including the 1976–77 tour of Australia, reflecting the time when MCC had been responsible for selecting the touring party. The last time the England touring team wore the bacon-and-egg colours of the MCC was on the 1996–97 tour of New Zealand.<br />
<br />
===Status of Wales===<br />

Historically, the England team represented the whole of [[Great Britain]] in international cricket, with Scottish or [[Cricket in Wales|Welsh national team]]s playing sporadically and players from both countries occasionally representing England. [[Cricket Scotland|Scotland]] became an independent member of the ICC in 1994, having severed links with the TCCB two years earlier.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 September 2005 |title=ICC Cricket World Cup countdown - Scotland |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-cricket-world-cup-countdown-scotland-219330 |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Cricket Scotland |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/europe/associate/69 |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=www.icc-cricket.com |archive-date=4 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231104225411/https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/europe/associate/69 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Lewis-2022">{{Cite web |last=Lewis |first=Thomas |date=2022-01-18 |title=Some fans think Wales should declare independence from England - at cricket |url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/fans-think-its-time-wales-22786253 |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=North Wales Live |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Ruscoe-2004" /><br />

The absence of a Welsh cricket team has seen a number of debates within the [[National Assembly for Wales|Welsh Senedd]]. In 2013 a debate saw both [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] and [[Welsh Labour Party|Labour]] members lend their support to the establishment of an independent Welsh team.<ref>{{cite news |title=Establishment of a Welsh Cricket Team |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/wales-24613204 |newspaper=BBC Democracy Live |date=23 October 2013 |access-date=6 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114204700/http://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/wales-24613204 |archive-date=14 November 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2015, a report produced by the [[National Assembly for Wales|Welsh National Assembly's]] petitions committee, reflected the passionate debate around the issue. [[Bethan Sayed|Bethan Jenkins]], [[Plaid Cymru]]'s spokesperson on heritage, culture, sport and broadcasting, and a member of the petitions committee, argued that Wales should have its own international team and withdraw from the ECB. Jenkins noted that Ireland (with a population of 6.4&nbsp;million) was an ICC member with 6,000 club players whereas Wales (with 3&nbsp;million) had 7,500. Jenkins said: "Cricket Wales and Glamorgan CCC say the idea of a Welsh national cricket team is 'an emotive subject', of course having a national team is emotive, you only have to look at the stands during any national game to see that. To suggest this as anything other than natural is a bit of a misleading argument."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ams-query-possibility-welsh-national-5698082|title=A Welsh national cricket team?

When playing Test cricket, England's [[Cricket clothing and equipment|cricket whites]] feature the three lions badge on the left of the shirt and the name of the sponsor Toyota on the centre. English and Welsh fielders may wear a navy blue cap or white sun hat with the ECB logo in the middle. Helmets are also coloured navy blue. Before 1997 the uniform sported the TCCB lion and stumps logo on the uniforms, while the helmets, jumpers and hats had the three lions emblem.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/qa-the-sinister-aspect-of-golf-1590548.html |title=QA: The sinister aspect of golf |work=The Independent |access-date=30 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181214072002/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/qa-the-sinister-aspect-of-golf-1590548.html |archive-date=14 December 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> Before 1996, the caps used in test touring squads featured a crest depicting [[Saint George and the dragon|St. George and a dragon]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-02-06 |title=Lions in sheep's clothing |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/1135753.html |access-date=2023-03-22 |website=Cricinfo}}</ref> In April 2017, the ECB brought back the traditional cable-knit sweater for test matches.<ref>{{Cite news|date=4 April 2017|title=All hail the return of cricket's traditional cable-knit sweater|work=The Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2017/04/04/hail-return-crickets-traditional-cable-knit-sweater/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2017/04/04/hail-return-crickets-traditional-cable-knit-sweater/ |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=17 August 2021|issn=0307-1235}}{{cbignore}}</ref><br />

In One Day Internationals the kit is a blue shirt with navy trousers, whilst the Twenty20 kit is a flame-red shirt and navy trousers. Over the years, England's ODI kit has cycled between various shades of blue (such as a pale blue used until the mid-1990s, when it was replaced in favour of a bright blue)<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/news/2015/features-and-specials/85251/classic-world-cup-kits-1996.html |title=Classic World Cup Kits 1996 |access-date=5 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703222200/http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/news/2015/features-and-specials/85251/classic-world-cup-kits-1996.html |archive-date=3 July 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/news/2015/features-and-specials/85289/classic-world-cup-kits-1999.html |title=Classic World Cup Kits 1999 |access-date=5 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619193705/http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/news/2015/features-and-specials/85289/classic-world-cup-kits-1999.html |archive-date=19 June 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> with the occasional all-red kit.<ref>{{cite news|title=England's ODI kits down the years|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2017/05/03/englands-odi-kits-years-ranked-rated/|work=The Daily Telegraph|access-date=5 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007121216/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2017/05/03/englands-odi-kits-years-ranked-rated/|archive-date=7 October 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
In [[limited overs cricket]], England's shirts feature the Toyota logo across the centre, except in [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] limited-overs tournaments when a modified kit design is used with 'ENGLAND' printed across the front and the sponsor's logo on the sleeve.<br />

==Fan following==<br />
{{Main|Barmy Army}}<br />
[[Image: Barmy Army at the SCG.JPG|left|180px|thumb|The Barmy Army chanting at the Sydney Cricket Ground]]<br />
The Barmy Army is a travel agency that provides tickets and arranges touring parties for some of its members to follow the [[English cricket team]] in the UK and overseas. The Barmy Army was at first an informal group but was later turned into a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://i.imgci.com/db/NATIONAL/ENG/CLUBS/barmy-army/history.html|title=History of the Barmy Army}}</ref><br />
<br />
The name is also applied to followers of the team who join in with match day activities in the crowd, but do not necessarily travel as part of an organised tour. [[Collins dictionary]] defines the word barmy as "slightly crazy or very foolish". Known for their famous song that goes “barmy army shout it out come on england”<br />
<br />
The group, then less organised, was given its name by the Australian media during the [[English cricket team in Australia in 1994-95|1994–95]] [[Test cricket|Test]] series in [[Australia]], reportedly for the fans' hopeless audacity in travelling all the way to Australia in the near-certain knowledge that their team would lose, and the fact that they kept on chanting encouragement to the England team even when England were losing quite badly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2006/dec/01/ashes2006.cricket7 |title=Crass and corporate - why the Barmy Army are no laughing matter |date=2006-11-30 |work=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/dominic-lawson/dominic-lawson-fight-back-against-the-barmy-army-427134.html |title=Dominic Lawson: Fight back against the Barmy Army |date=2006-12-05 |work=[[The Independent]]}}</ref> It was co-founded by [[Paul Burnham]].<ref name=tm>{{cite web|url=http://www.trademarkify.com.au/trademark/1114806?i=BARMY_ARMY-BACSC_Ltd_and_Peacock_David_John#.UT3AC9pFDIU |title=BARMY ARMY by BACSC Ltd and Peacock, David John - Australian Trademark No.1114806 |publisher=Trade Marks Australia |access-date=2020-03-23}}</ref><br />

==Eligibility of players==<br />
The England cricket team represents England and Wales. However, under [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] regulations,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/523af0cd4a1db-Player%20Eligibility%20Rules%20-%20effective%2018%20September%202013.pdf|title=The International Cricket Council Player Eligibility Regulations|date=18 September 2013|access-date=22 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721114235/http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/523af0cd4a1db-Player%20Eligibility%20Rules%20-%20effective%2018%20September%202013.pdf|archive-date=21 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> players can qualify to play for a country by nationality, place of birth or residence, so (as with any national sports team) some people are eligible to play for more than one team. [[England and Wales Cricket Board|ECB]] regulations<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pulse-static-files.s3.amazonaws.com/ecb/document/2018/03/18/3c8ad1be-06f8-468a-86a3-96e20f2fe00b/FCC_KSL_RegistrationRegs_2018.pdf |title=Regulations Governing the Qualification and Registration of Cricketers |publisher=England and Wales Cricket Board |access-date=25 August 2021 }}</ref> state that to play for England, a player must be a [[British citizenship|British citizen]], and have either been born in England or Wales, or have lived in England or Wales for three years. This has led to players who also held other nationalities becoming eligible to play for England. The qualification period for those born outside England and Wales has varied in the past, but in November 2018 the ECB announced that the period would be reduced to three years in all circumstances, in line with ICC regulations.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Jofra Archer could play for England at World Cup after ECB amend eligibility rules |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/jofra-archer-could-play-for-england-at-world-cup-after-ecb-amend-eligibility-rules-1167447 |url-status=live |access-date=29 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129160629/http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/25407156/jofra-archer-play-england-world-cup-ecb-amend-eligibility-rules |archive-date=29 November 2018}}</ref><br />

ICC regulations also allow cricketers who represent [[List of International Cricket Council members#Top Associate/Affiliate Members|associate]] (i.e. non-Test-playing) nations to switch to a Test-playing nation, provided nationality requirements are fulfilled. In recent years, this has seen Irish internationals [[Ed Joyce]], [[Boyd Rankin]] and [[Eoin Morgan]] switch to represent England (before Ireland were promoted to full member status in 2018), whilst [[Gavin Hamilton (cricketer)|Gavin Hamilton]] previously played for Scotland&nbsp;– though Joyce, Rankin and Hamilton were later able to re-qualify for and represent the countries of their birth.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/9887/ |title=Some sports are more jingoistic than others |access-date=2010-11-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203031507/http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/9887/ |archive-date=3 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/wt202009/content/current/story/398710.html |title=Ireland frustration at Morgan call |author=Will Luke |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=7 April 2009 |access-date=9 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410065920/http://content.cricinfo.com/wt202009/content/current/story/398710.html |archive-date=10 April 2009 |url-status=live }} Retrieved on 9 April 2009.</ref><ref>{{citation|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ireland/content/story/460770.html|title=Ed Joyce hopes for early Ireland switch|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|author=Staff|date=24 May 2010|access-date=9 November 2010}}</ref><br />
