Bahrain are making a comeback on the international stage after a period out of ACC competition in 2007-2008 while internal administrative affairs were being settled. Prior to their absence Bahrain were in the Elite division of every ACC competition and there are signs that cricket is enjoying a renaissance, with news of a new national academy being built in Manama and the U-19 team winning the ACC Trophy Challenge in December 2009. Assuming all the elements in Bahrain coalesce and their potential is realised, the senior team could mount a serious challenge to the top teams in Asia. Should the youth team fulfil their promise, Bahrain's cricket future looks to be assured. "Bahrain is one of those countries that could go a long way in relation to its size, compared to its neighbours," says ACC Development Officer Rumesh Ratnayake. They have three grounds where they have their regular league matches. They are now working with the Olympic Committee to acquire two more grounds and have recently imported soil to prepare turf pitches. Bahrain’s debut in the ICC World Cricket League in 2009 started with them winning Division 7, becoming runners-up in Division 6 and then finishing third in Division 5.
