On Friday, August 26, the Malta women’s national cricket team departed to participate in the Intercontinental Cup in Romania.

Despite only having rejuvenated cricket for women at the beginning of the year, the Malta Cricket Association (MCA) was confident that the squad was ready to compete.

Out of the 13 squad members, only two had ever played the game of cricket before the start of the training camps.
