Because of political difficulties, the Irish Cricket Union (ICU) was not selected to the International Cricket Council (ICC) until 1993, and qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 2007. The Irish Cricket Union is the governing body of Irish cricket. The Irish cricket team is made up of both professional cricketers and those who earn their living outside the sport. Cricket Ireland, which succeeded the Irish Cricket Union as the sport's governing body in the country, introduced contracts for its players in 2009, and as of the 2011 Cricket World Cup 13 players have full-time contracts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first match played by an Irish team was in 1855. Since then, Ireland have gained a reputation for giant-killing. Ireland played their first Day International (ODI) in 2006 against England. Since then, they have gone on to play 61 ODIs, leading to 29 victories, 28 defeats, three no results, and one tie. Highlights in Ireland's cricketing history include beating a touring West Indies side in 1928, 1969, and again in 2004, progressing to the second round of the 2007 World Cup in which they beat Pakistan and Bangladesh and tied with Zimbabwe and beating England in the 2011 World Cup.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ireland participate in the ICC Trophy, the European Cricket Championship (which they have won times and hold the title of European champions), and the ICC Intercontinental Cup, which they have won consecutively times since 2005. Until 2009, the team also competed in the Friends Provident Trophy against English counties. Ireland is an Associate member of the ICC; Associates are the next level of team below those that play Check cricket. Due to their recent successes in the Intercontinental Cup and at the World Cup, they have been labelled the "leading Associate".[6] Ireland is currently of the teams in Division one of Associate Members of International Cricket Council who has Day International and T20 International status. After the tremendous success at International stage , Cricket Ireland has applied for Full Membership from the International Cricket Council. Ireland have recently won the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2008 and 2009 ICC World Cup Qualifier and qualified for 2009 World Twenty20 and 2011 Cricket World Cup. Being a full member will permit Ireland to become a permanent Day International playing nation and finally grant them Test status.</div></div>

It is run by Cricket Canada.<br /> While Canada is not sanctioned to play Test matches, the team does participate in Day International matches & also in first-class games (in the ICC  Cup) against other non-Test-playing opposition, with the rivalry against the United States cricket team being as strong in cricket as it is in other team sports. The match between these nations is in fact the oldest international fixture in cricket, having first been played in 1844.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Canadian cricket has tended to take a lower profile than most other sports, & the team tends to be composed of expatriates from more successful cricketing nations either trying to accomplish a level of international experience or having been deemed elderly for their respective national teams. The 2003 World Cup squad, for example, contained players born in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan & the West Indies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps the most successful exponent of Canadian cricket has been all-rounder John Davison. Davison was born in Canada but played club &  occasionally first class cricket in Australia, achieving a reputation as something of a journeyman. Taking advantage of his Canadian birth, he became a regular in the national squad. At the 2003 World Cup, Davison hit the quickest century in match history against the West Indies in what was ultimately a losing cause. year later, in the ICC Intercontinental Cup against the USA, he proved the difference between the sides taking 17 wickets for 137 runs (the best haul in first-class cricket since England's Jim Laker took 19 wickets in 1956) as well as scoring 84 runs of his own.</div></div>

On two April 2011, the team won the 2011 Cricket World Cup, its second after 1983. It thus became only the third team after West Indies & Australia to have won the World Cup over one time. As of October 2010, the Indian team has played 445 Check matches, winning 108, losing 138 & drawing 198 of its games, with one match ending in a tie. India has a comparatively better record in Day Internationals, winning 52% of matches played. In both cases, win-loss ratio of recent years is much higher than that of older periods, when it was a weaker team. Currently Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the captain in all forms of the game while Duncan Fletcher is the coach.

They became the sixth team to be granted Check cricket status. In their first fifty years of international cricket, India proved weaker than Australia and England, winning only 35 of the 196 check matches. The team, however, gained strength near the finish of the 1970s with the emergence of players such as Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and the Indian spin quartet�Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan (both off spinners), Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (a leg spinner), and Bishen Singh Bedi (a left-arm spinner). Historically much stronger at home than abroad, the Indian team has improved its abroad form since the beginning of the 21st century. It won the Cricket World Cup in 1983 under Kapil Dev, was runners-up in 2003 under Sourav Ganguly, and won the World Cup a second time in 2011 under MS Dhoni.
