List of Papua New Guinea Twenty20 International cricketers

Overall, thirteen players have represented the Papua New Guinean national cricket team in Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket.[1] Papua New Guinea were first granted T20I status in January 2014, simultaneously being granted One Day International (ODI) status. This was a result of their performance at the 2014 World Cup Qualifier, where they placed fourth to narrowly miss out on qualifying for the 2015 World Cup.[2] The team made its ODI debut in November 2014, against Hong Kong,[3] but did not play a full Twenty20 International until July 2015, during the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier.[4] Papua New Guinea's debut in the format was originally intended to come in its second match of the tournament, against Hong Kong, but the match was rained out.[5] Instead, the team's first Twenty20 International came against Ireland, with PNG winning by two wickets.[6] Papua New Guinea's other T20I matches at the tournament came against Nepal and Afghanistan.[4] The team has not yet played any further matches in the format, but Papua New Guinea will maintain its T20I status until at least 2019.[lower-alpha 1]

Notes

  1. ↑ Assuming the current format of the World Twenty20 is maintained, a global qualifier for the 2020 ICC World Twenty20 will be held in 2019, with the top six teams receiving T20I status if they do not already hold it. Papua New Guinea could also maintain its T20I status by placing highly at the 2018 World Cup Qualifier, thus retaining its ODI status.
