# Associate international cricket in 2018

The 2018 Associate international cricket season was from July to August 2018. The International Cricket Council (ICC) granted Twenty20 International (T20I) status to matches between the women's national teams of all of its Associate members from 1 July 2018 (and between their men's national teams from 1 January 2019). As a result, many teams were able to play official WT20I cricket for the first time. The season included all WT20I cricket series mostly involving ICC Associate members, that were played in addition to series covered in International cricket in 2018.
