List A Cricket




Most cricketing nations have some form of domestic List A competition. The number of Over s in List A cricket ranges from forty to sixty overs per side.

The categorization of cricket matches as "List A" is not endorsed by the International Cricket Council , but one-day matches can never be regarded as first class. The Association of Cricket Historians and Statisticians created this category for the purpose of providing an equivalent to first-class cricket, to allow the generation of career records and statistics for comparable one-day matches. Only the more important one-day competitions in each country, plus matches against a touring Test team, are included.

  • Matches that qualify as List A:

  • --- One-day Internationals (ODIs)

  • --- Other international matches

  • --- Premier one-day tournaments in each country

  • --- Official matches of a touring Test team against main first-class teams

  • Matches that do not qualify as List A:

  • --- World Cup warm-up matches

  • --- Other Tourist matches (for example, against first-class teams that are not part of the main domestic first-class competition, such as universities)

  • --- Festival and friendly matches
