The tri-series will see the three countries play against each other twice at the VRA ground in Amstelveen from May 18-24. The Netherlands, which like Scotland have participated in the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup five times, made it to the Super-12 and finished in eighth place in the 2022 edition of the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTwenty teams will be competing in this year\u2019s 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,\u201d said Roland Lefebvre, High-Performance Manager, KNCB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ireland have taken part in the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup seven times. In 2009 it reached the Super-8 phase while making it to the Super-12s in 2022. Scotland's best performance in the tournament has been reaching the Super-12s in 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWith the Men\u2019s 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 the 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,\u201d said Richard Holdsworth, High Performance Director, Cricket Ireland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tri-series, which will be live-streamed by the European Cricket Network (ECN) with six cameras, is sandwiched between Scotland\u2019s ICC Cricket World Cup League Two series against Oman and Namibia at home, and their departure for the Caribbean to participate in the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup on May 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Scotland's most recent T20 meeting with the Netherlands was a warmup fixture in Melbourne ahead of the 2022 Men's T20 World Cup, a match they won by 18 runs. Scotland then beat Ireland by eight runs at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in Edinburgh last July to secure first place in the qualification process for this year's tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m pleased with the quality and volume of cricket we have in the leadup to the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup, and this Tri-Series offers further vital preparation and crucial game time for our squad.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cComing immediately after a home CWCL2 series, it\u2019s 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,\u201d said Steve Snell, Cricket Scotland's Head of High Performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
