England cricket team → England national cricket team – This is not just any cricket team it’s the England national cricket team and the word national should be added into the title. MOTORAL1987 (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Is England a nation? Category:National cricket teams. Bizarre to see Hong Kong national cricket team! In ictu oculi (talk) 15:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Team represents England and Wales, which is not a nation. Spike 'em (talk) 16:00, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment There are also at least 5 discussions around the article title in the Archive of this page. Spike 'em (talk) 16:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose not a national team, as it's England and Wales (which are two parts of a nation). Joseph2302 (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per all the above. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:26, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's also this discussion relating to the England women's team. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:27, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. England also includes Wales. Also, England is not a sovereign nation. StickyWicket (talk) 20:08, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose - it represents England and Wales, not just England, so this is one of the cases where a "national" side can't have the word national in it. Didn't we have this recently? Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose: as everyone else has already stated, the team has included Welsh players, plays international matches in Wales, and is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board. This isn't an isolated case – both the West Indies and Ireland teams are made up of two or more countries, so they can't be called national teams either.

• Oppose - in addition to what has been said above, "England cricket team" seems perfectly clear to me. And if the change was made, for consistency you'd want to make the same change for all the other Test sides, which would clearly not be possible for the West Indies. JH (talk page) 08:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - We have England national football team, England national rugby union team and all the rest, so what's so different about the cricket team? The team may also represent Wales, but that's because Wales was constitutionally part of England until the 1950s and the sport isn't as embedded in Wales. We even have Wales national cricket team, as well as Scotland national cricket team. With these things in mind, I would also support moving Ireland cricket team to Ireland national cricket team in line with the rest of the cricket national team articles and even Ireland national rugby union team. – PeeJay 09:10, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - I totaly agree with Pee for the very same reasons. (2A02:C7F:5622:2000:9C2:C7B1:8AF1:8713 (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC))[reply]
• Oppose: It is not a 'national' team as it represents more than one national. To use 'international' would clearly be inappropriate. Status quo is fine. Harrias ^talk 20:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just because it represents more than one nation doesn't stop it being a national team. If we were talking about the Cornwall cricket team as a sub-national, regional side, I might agree with you, but this whole argument seems pretty spurious. – PeeJay 20:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support: What’s so different about the England cricket team when the word national is used for the Ireland national rugby union team? I think it’s just suptid how people can think that because the England cricket team also represents Wales it’s deemed inappropriate to add the word “National” when the Ireland national rugby union team represents both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and yet it deemed appropriate to use the term “National team” and yet it’s not appropriate to use the same term for the England cricket team what possibly can the issues be in that that it’s total hypocrisy by those who oppose it and a bit of common sense is desperately needed.

Would the 2 ip editors please confirm they are not the same person, the addresses are somewhat similar and geolocate to the same place. Describing other people's valid views as "suptid"(sic) and "total hypocrisy" is bad faith. Spike 'em (talk) 13:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
