The Malian Cricket Federation (French: Fédération Malienne de Cricket, FeMaCrik) became an associate member[1] of the International Cricket Council in 2017.
The Malian Cricket Federation was co-founded by Kawory Berthe, a Malian English-teacher and Phil Watson from Wales, in 2003.[2] After three years of growing the game, the remodeled FeMaCrick became Mali's 25th officially recognised sports federation.[3]
In May 2007, Mali sent a men's team to participate in the inaugural North & West African Championship in Banjul, Gambia.[4] Their international debut was against the host team (Gambia) which they lost.
The first national championships were held in 2008.[5]
