In April 2018, theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) granted fullWomen's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, allTwenty20 matches played between Zambia women and another international side after 1 July 2018 are eligible to have full WT20I status.[1]
Zambia's was part of the Botswana 7s tournament in August 2018 againstBotswana,Lesotho,Malawi,Mozambique,Namibia andSierra Leone. However, Zambia's matches were not classified as WT20Is as they had a Botswana player in their squad.[2][3]
Zambia had their membership suspended by theInternational Cricket Council in 2019 due to continued non-compliance to amend multiple breaches of the ICC's Membership Criteria, relating to general competence and an acceptable detailed governance system.
