The African XI cricket team is a representative team of the continent of Africa and represents it during the Afro-Asia Cup.
The African cricket team originated when Jagmohan Dalmiya thought up the Afro-Asian Cup, which was to raise money for both the African Cricket Association and the Asian Cricket Council. The first tournament was held in 2005. The African XI team beat Asia XI by 2 runs, but lost the next match with the last match rained out. Their winless streak continues as they lost to Asia XI 3-0 along with a Twenty20 which did not have Twenty20 International or Twenty20 status in the 2007 tournament.
