Sweden national cricket team

[6] Sweden first hosted an ICC-approved international cricket tournament in August 2016, when the 2016 ICC Europe Division Two was played in Stockholm.

The club's full name was Lyckans Samfund (Society of Joy), a pun on the name of the local neighbourhood.

MCC visited Sweden in June 1999 which was one of the high points for the Cricket in the country.

This helped build many new cricket facilities in the country that also made it possible to host ICC Europe WCL Division 2 tournament in Stockholm.

Sweden finished runners-up in that tournament and once again gained promotion to European division 1.

Cricket is growing at a rapid pace in Sweden and clubs exist in almost every part of the country.

In 2021, Sweden was among five teams excluded from the ICC T20I Championship for failing to play enough fixtures in the relevant period, an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
