The Norway national cricket team is the team that represents Norway in international cricket matches. The Norwegian Cricket Board became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2000, and the national side played its first international match later that year. Most of the side's matches have been against members of the European Cricket Council (ECC), although in more recent years Norway has fielded sides in the lower divisions of the World Cricket League (WCL). The team's current head coach is Muhammad Haroon, a former first-class player in Pakistan, who was appointed in early 2014. In 2017, they became an associate member of the ICC. Norway achieved their highest ever ICC T20I ranking (30th) under Haroon’s coaching. Norway was also honoured with the ICC Accelerated Growth Member Award in 2017. This recognition was part of the ICC’s annual Development Awards, which celebrate outstanding contributions to the growth of cricket among its member nations.
