History

Cricket in Tanzania dates back to 1890, when the first known recorded games took place on the island of Zanzibar between the British Settlers and the British Navy. The first known game on the mainland took place in 1913. [1]
Tanzania gained membership of the ICC in 1966 as part of the combined East Africa team. [2] They then became part of the East and Central African cricket team, who became an ICC member in 1989. [3] Tanzania left that combination in 2001 when they became members of the ICC in their own right. [4]
