History
Mexico became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2004. Their first international match was played on 19 March 2006 in the Central American Cricket Championship against Costa Rica who they beat. Prior to this there had been teams based in Mexico City that had played against Belize but these were not recognised as international fixtures.[7][8] Having beaten Costa Rica in the tournament they then lost to Belize finishing second.
In 2007, Mexico hosted the Central American Cricket Championship and won it by defeating Costa Rica and El Salvador.
In 2008, Mexico travelled to El Salvador to take part in the 2nd Easter Cup. They finished second, losing to Belize but winning easily against El Salvador.
Mexico took part in the 3rd Central American Championship in 2009 in Panama under the new Twenty20 format. Mexico performed well in the tournament, winning all but one of their matches and even defeating close rivals Belize in a close fought match. As a result, they finished 2nd in the tournament.
In 2011, Mexico competed in the ICC Division 3 Americas tournament in Costa Rica finishing in 4th place.[9]
In 2012, a youthful Mexico team participated in the 4th Volcano Cup in El Salvador finishing runners up to the hosts after defeating Guatemala.
