Gambia women's national cricket team
Around 2007, the ICC Africa regional office mandated development programs for women's cricket.[5] In 2008 the Gambia Cricket Association established a women's academy at July 22 Square in Banjul.[6] In 2015, Gambia hosted the inaugural North West Africa Cricket Council (NWACC) women's twenty20 tournament.In that competition, which was disrupted by the Western African Ebola virus epidemic, the national team finished runner-up to Sierra Leone, and recorded victories over both Ghana and Mali.The tournament matches were played at the Medical Research Centre (MRC) Ground in Bakau, even though it was reportedly in a poor condition.
