Fiji women's national cricket team


The Fiji women's national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Fiji in international Women's cricket matches. Fiji has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council since 1965, although the team's history of the game in the country goes back to the late 19th century.
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Fiji women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.

History

Cricket was introduced to Fiji by European settlers in 1874, and the native population began taking up the game in 1878. The governor of Fiji at the time listed introducing cricket to the native Fijians as one of the achievements of his tenure in his memoirs.
