List of Nigeria Twenty20 International cricketers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Nigerian Twenty20 International cricketers. In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Nigeria and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 have the T20I status.[1]
This list comprises all members of the Nigeria cricket team who have played at least one T20I match. It is initially arranged in the order in which each player won his first Twenty20 cap. Where more than one player won his first Twenty20 cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname. Nigeria played their first T20I match on 20 May 2019 against Kenya at the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier Finals.[2]
