In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Malaysia women and another international side since 1 July 2018 have been a full WT20I.[4] In June 2018, Malaysia played its first Women's T20I against India in the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[5] Malaysia were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier regional group, alongside seven other teams.[6] In April 2021, the Malaysian Cricket Association awarded contracts to 15 players, the first time female cricketers for the Malaysian team had been granted contracts.[7]
