 In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members.Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Slovenia and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be a full T20I.It is thought that cricket was introduced to Slovenia in 1974, after Borut Čegovnik, then a 13-year-old boy from the mountain town of Mežica, was introduced to the sport on an extended visit to his penpal in Birchington-on-Sea, Kent.
