List of Norway Twenty20 International cricketers

This is a list of Norwegian 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 Norway and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will be eligible for T20I status.^[1]

This list comprises all members of the Norway 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.

Norway played their first matches with T20I status on 15 June 2019 during the European Qualifying Finals for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier.^[2]
