Cricket (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket) was played in Romania between 1893 and 1930. In recent years the game has begun to grow again, particularly in Bucharest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucharest), Timișoara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timi%C8%99oara) and Cluj-Napoca (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluj-Napoca). In July 2010, they played in a European Twenty20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty20) tournament which was held in Skopje (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skopje), Macedonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Macedonia). On 29 June 2013, Romania was granted affiliate status by the International Cricket Council (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cricket_Council) (ICC) and are therefore entitled to participate in ICC official events.[[5]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romania_national_cricket_team&diff=1360474744&oldid=1360473523#cite_note-new-5) In 2017, they became an associate member (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_International_Cricket_Council_members).[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romania_national_cricket_team&diff=1360474744&oldid=1360473523#cite_note-Assoc-1) As in a number of European countries, the game is dominated by expatriates from traditional cricket-playing nations in the Indian subcontinent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent) and the Commonwealth of Nations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations). The main ground of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moara_Vlasiei_Cricket_Ground) the team for national and international matches is at Moara Vlăsiei (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moara_Vl%C4%83siei), 26 km (16 miles) away from the Bucharest city centre. It was built between 2011 and 2013 and is the only turf cricket ground in Central and Eastern Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_and_Eastern_Europe). Romania won the 2021 Sofia Twenty20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Sofia_Twenty20) cup, where they defeated Bulgaria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria_national_cricket_team) in the final.[[6]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romania_national_cricket_team&diff=1360474744&oldid=1360473523#cite_note-6) They have been gaining prominence in the European cricket scene, with their performances improving in recent seasons. In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty20_International) (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty20) matches played between Romania and other ICC members (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_International_Cricket_Council_members) after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.[[7]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romania_national_cricket_team&diff=1360474744&oldid=1360473523#cite_note-7) Romania played its first T20I match against Austria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria_national_cricket_team) on 29 August 2019 during the 2019 Continental Cup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Continental_Cup_(cricket)) in Romania.[[8]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romania_national_cricket_team&diff=1360474744&oldid=1360473523#cite_note-8) • *v** Ijaz Hussain 35 (36) Bilal Zalmai 4/12 (4 overs)Anthony Lark 30 (41) Ramesh Satheesan 3/14 (4 overs) • Austria won the toss and elected to field. • First ever T20I match for Romania.
