They regularly take part in the European Championship, and are currently ranked the 12th best non-Test team in Europe by the International Cricket Council (ICC), having been an associate member of that organisation since 1974.
In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Israel and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 hold the T20I status.
