Vanuatu national cricket team The Vanuatu national cricket team is the team that represents the Republic of Vanuatu in international cricket . The team is organised by the Vanuatu Cricket Association , which became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 1995 and was promoted to associate status in 2009 . Vanuatu made its international debut at the 1979 Pacific Games , at which time the country was still known as the New Hebrides . The majority of the team's matches have come against other members of the ICC East Asia-Pacific region, including both at ICC regional tournaments and at the cricket events at the Pacific Games . Vanuatu entered the World Cricket League at the 2008 Division Five tournament. The team participated in the WCL system at the 2015 Division Six event, where it placed third. Following the withdrawal of Suriname from the 2016 Division Five tournament , Vanuatu were named as their replacement. In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Vanuatu and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I. Vanuatu played their maiden T20I against Papua New Guinea on 22 March 2019 . After April 2019 , Vanuatu played in the 2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League .History Vanuatu competed in the Pacifica Championships on the two occasions it was held, finishing seventh in 2001 and sixth in 2002. In 2005 , they hosted the East Asia/Pacific Cricket Cup , finishing third in the six team competition, therefore missing out on qualification for the 2007 World Cup . At the East Asia – Pacific Trophy in Auckland, New Zealand , in December 2007 , Vanuatu finished second, therefore qualifying through to the World Cricket League Division Five in 2008. In the highly successful 2009 calendar year , Vanuatu defeated Fiji in two One-Day Series in Port Vila as well as claiming the prestigious 2009 ICC EAP Men's Cricket Trophy held in Samoa, defeating the hosts in the final. At a junior level, Vanuatu has finished second to Papua New Guinea in the following competitions: East Asia – Pacific Under 15 Super 8s, Melbourne, Australia, 2005; East Asia – Pacific Under 15 Super 8s, Apia , Samoa, 2007; East Asia – Pacific Under 19 World Cup Qualifying Tournament, Port Vila, Vanuatu , 2007. Vanuatu finished third in the 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Eight in Kuwait. This means they stayed in that league for the 2012 competition . At the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Four tournament, Vanuatu recorded victories against Bermuda , a former ODI team, and Denmark , which has previously played as high as Division Two. However, they were still relegated to Division Five based on net run rate . In August 2019, Australian Clint McKay was appointed as the interim coach of the team, ahead of the 2019 Malaysia Cricket World Cup Challenge League A tournament.Tournament history World Cricket League 2008 Division Five: 12th place – relegated to regional qualifier 2010 Division Eight: 3rd place 2012 Division Eight: Champions – promoted 2013 Division Seven: 2nd place – promoted 2013 Division Six: 3rd place 2015 Division Six: 2nd place – promoted 2016 Division Five: 4th place – relegated to regional qualifier 2017 Division Five: 2nd place – promoted 2018 Division Four: 5th place – relegated EAP 50-over tournaments 2005: 4th place 2007: 2nd place 2009 : 1st placeEAP 20-over tournaments 2009: 5th placePacific Games ">Cricket at the Pacific Games">Pacific Games 1979: Silver medal 1991: 4th place 2003: 5th place 2011: Bronze medal 2015: Champions 2019: Silver medalRecords and Statistics International Match Summary — Vanuatu Twenty20 International Most T20I runs for Vanuatu Player Runs Average Career span Joshua Rasu 374 28.76 2019 Nalin Nipiko 312 26.00 2019 Patrick Matautaava 265 26.50 2019 Clement Tommy 180 16.36 2019 Andrew Mansale 159 11.35 2019
