[1] Norwegian cricket was first organised in the 1960s by a few Asian immigrants and has grown to the current state of 55 clubs playing in five divisions.

With only the top two from this tournament qualifying for Division Four in Tanzania later in the year, Norway missed out on the chance to take their 2011 World Cup dream any further.

In May 2011, Norway travelled to Botswana for Division Seven of the World Cricket League and their relatively poor performances at ICC events continued as they finished fifth overall, although they did beat Japan in a group match and then a positional playoff.

However, by the end of year 2011 a drastic change in team performance was observed in the World Cricket League, mainly due to the inclusion of a number of new, younger, and fitter players.

In June 2012, in the World Cricket League, the team gained the top spot in the shortest format of the game, with amazing reformations[clarification needed] in the field.

This success won Norway a spot in another ICC qualifier event, potentially securing them a place in the T20 World Cup Competition.

The following is a list of the players included in Norway's squad for the finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in Jersey in June 2019.
