- Ireland and Scotland take on Netherlands for T20I Tri-Series in May
With an eye on the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup in June, for which the three countries have qualified, Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands will play a T20I Tri-Series in the Netherlands in May. The countries will play each other twice.
The venue will be the VRA ground in Amstelveen. The dates are May 18 to 24, 2024. All matches will be livestreamed by the European Cricket Network (ECN) with six cameras.
Ireland took part in the T20 World Cup seven times. In 2009 it reached the Super-8 and in 2022 the Super-12. Scotland's best performance was reaching the Super-12 in 2021. The Netherlands, which like Scotland participated in the T20 World Cup five times, made the Super-12 and finished eighth in the 2022 edition.
Richard Holdsworth, High Performance Director Cricket Ireland: “With the Men’s T20 World Cup approaching, it has been important to have a solid preparation period in the leadup. With the Afghan series in March, Pakistan in early May and now Netherlands and Scotland in late May we feel this offers the squad a range of high quality opponents, which will put us in good stead for the coming tournament. Our thanks to the KNCB for hosting the series.”
Steve Snell, Cricket Scotland Head of High Performance, said: “I’m pleased with the quality and volume of cricket we have in the leadup to the Men’s T20 World Cup, and this Tri-Series offers further vital preparation and crucial game time for our squad. Coming immediately after a home WCL2 series, it’s important that our players take on high quality opposition in the relevant format ahead of the World Cup, and we are most grateful to the Netherlands and Ireland for jointly working with us on this series.”
Roland Lefebvre, High Performance Manager KNCB: "We are excited to host this Tri-Series as part of our preparation for the T20 World Cup played in America and the West Indies in June. Twenty teams will be competing in this year’s event which makes this World Cup a truly global event, with more than a billion TV viewers worldwide. The Netherlands team will be aiming to emulate the success they had in Australia in 2022.”
