PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is ranked 29th in the world out of 106 cricket playing nations and many people do not know about it! Cricket is not a popular sport in Malaysia but our national team is not short of passion or talent.
We are not as illustrious as the elite nations like India, Australia, England and Sri Lanka, but Malaysian cricket is slowly moving up in the world rankings.
Previously, Malaysia was ranked 36th in the world but over the last two years it has moved eight rungs up and is poised to move higher as the national side will have more assignments next year.
