Cricket is a competitive sport
International CompetitionFinland has had a national team since 2000. The Finnish National Team has played in international ICC and bi-lateral tournaments every year since then.
Most recently Finland performed on the international stage at the ICC T20 World Cup qualifier in Netherlands September 2018. Future plans are to prepare for the next T20 World Cup in 2021 with T20I fixtures home & away in 2019 and 2020. Exciting times for the great game indeed! |
