Lesotho has played international cricket since at least 1986, when they played Swaziland in Maseru.[6] They made their official ICC debut at Division Three of the Africa Region of the ICC World Cricket League in April 2006, where they came last in the eight-team tournament.[citation needed]
In April 2018, the ICC granted full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Lesotho and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 are eligible for T20I status.[7]
