History

The oldest club in Malaysia is the Royal Selangor Club. It was founded in 1884 by a group of British planters, and it has been the venue for almost all the important games in Malaysia ever since, including one occasion in 1927, when Malaya beat Australia by 39 runs. [1]
Malaysia gained associate membership of the ICC in 1967, [2] and played in the first ICC Trophy in 1979. They have appeared in every ICC Trophy since, with the exception of the 2005 tournament, for which they did not qualify. They hosted the 1997 tournament, but finished in a disappointing 16th place.
Malaysia are, to date, the only country to feature cricket as part of the Commonwealth Games. This happened at the 1998 games, but the tournament was not considered a success, with most of the Test nations not sending a full-strength team, and England not sending a team at all.
Malaysia have competed in every ACC Trophy, and hosted the 2004 tournament, where they finished in 7th place, missing out on qualification for the 2005 ICC Trophy and 2007 Asia Cup. They also hosted the 2006 tournament, in which they again finished seventh.
