List A cricket includes One Day International (ODI) matches and various domestic competitions in which the number of overs in an innings per team ranges from forty to sixty, as well as some international matches involving nations who have not achieved official ODI status.[1] In November 2021, the ICC retrospectively applied List A status to women's cricket, aligning it with the men's game.The categorisation of cricket matches as "List A" was not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council until 2006,[4] when the ICC announced it, along with its member associations, would be determining this classification in a manner similar to that done for first-class matches.The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians created this category for the purpose of providing an equivalent to first-class cricket, to allow the generation of career records and statistics for comparable one-day matches.Only the more important one-day competitions in each country, plus matches against a touring Test team, are included.
