The Fédération Malienne de Cricket (FeMaCrik) became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 2006.
FeMaCrik was co-founded by Mr Kawory Berthe, a Malian English-teacher and Dr Phil Watson from Wales. They and their colleagues in the FeMaCrik Executive Committee have been influential in bringing cricket to this French speaking country. In May 2007, Mali sent an adult, men's team to participate in the inaugural North & West African Championship in Banjul, Gambia. Their international debut was against the host team (Gambia) which they lost.
