List A cricket is a classification of the limited-overs (one-day) form of the sport of cricket. List A cricket includes One Day International (ODI) matches and various domestic competitions in which the number of overs in an innings per team ranges from forty to sixty, as well as some international matches involving nations who have not achieved official ODI status. Together with first-class and Twenty20 cricket, List A is one of the three major forms of cricket recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Status[edit]


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


The categorisation of cricket matches as "List A" was not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council until 2006,[1] when the ICC announced that it and its member associations would be determining this classification in a manner similar to that done for first-class matches. The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians 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. The list was the work of Philip Bailey and the name is derived simply from there being a list A and a list B.



Matches that qualify as List A[edit]


  • 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 played in ICC World Cricket League Division 2 and above


Matches that do not qualify as List A[edit]



  • Twenty20 cricket including internationals[2]

  • 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

  • Matches played between international sides at lower levels of the World Cricket League


First List A match[edit]


The first List A cricket match was played between Lancashire and Leicestershire in May 1963, in the preliminary round of the Gillette Cup.[3] Each side batted for 65 overs, and bowlers were restricted to 15 overs each.[4]
