Malian Cricket Federation

The Malian Cricket Federation (French: Fédération Malienne de Cricket, FeMaCrik) became an associate member of the International Cricket Council in 2017.

The Malian Cricket Federation was co-founded by Kawory Berthe, a Malian English-teacher and Phil Watson from Wales, in 2003. After three years of growing the game, the remodeled FeMaCrick became Mali's 25th officially recognised sports federation.

In May 2007, Mali sent a men's team to participate in the inaugural North & West African Championship in Banjul, Gambia. Their international debut was against the host team (Gambia) which they lost.

The first national championships were held in 2008.
