My research on creating the Criteria for Defining an Emerging Nations Match.

Adam Morehouse returns with another long-needed intervention

Adam Moorehouse sets the standard

This document establishes the official framework for determining which historical and contemporary cricket matches qualify for inclusion in the “Emerging Nations” statistical match list.

Following on from my criteria for Emerging Nations, this document compliments the previous criteria. This document shows what should and shouldn't be classed as an Unofficial International. It may cause some controversy as it includes matches which previously have not been given First-Class, List A or T20 status but because of the criteria I have created, it would be hard to leave these matches out. Matches especially affected by this are World XI/Rest of the World matches and the Packer led World Series Cricket. Women's matches are not forgotten, and it includes matches played by the Women's Cricket Association side, especially matches against the Netherlands as well as matches played by the Caribbean nations prior to the formation of the Caribbean Women's Cricket Federation. Again please let me know of any feedback you have of this criteria. Criteria for Defining an Unofficial International MatchDownload
