The series will mark Scotland\u2019s first home assignment since September 2022. Since then, the team has shown steady progress, qualifying for two successive Women\u2019s T20 World Cups and registering notable wins against full-member sides such as West Indies, Zimbabwe and Ireland in both ODI and T20 formats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the series, Scotland will travel to England for two additional warm-up matches before beginning their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland at Old Trafford on June 13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Kathryn Bryce said she is looking forward to playing in front of home fans in Edinburgh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited for this opportunity for us to play in my hometown of Edinburgh. The last time we played there was in 2022, which feels so long ago, and I actually contracted Covid-19 at the time so ended up missing out on the series. This is going to be the first time that I\u2019ve played for Scotland in Edinburgh in my career, so it\u2019s incredibly exciting,\" she said in a statement released by Scotland cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a monumental few months coming up, given we\u2019re then playing a T20 World Cup just down the road in England, so with the buzz and energy around that prospect, hopefully we can get lots of supporters along to watch us. It\u2019s been so rare for Scotland to play at home that it\u2019s not often we get to have a big crowd that\u2019s able to see us in person and be on our side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBangladesh and the Netherlands are both excellent sides, so the fixtures will be amazing preparation for us leading into the main event. I can\u2019t wait to pull on the thistle here in Scotland and run out in front of the home fans,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Craig Wallace said hosting the tri-series is an important step for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBeing able to host two excellent cricketing nations in Bangladesh and the Netherlands here in Scotland is amazing, and a big step forward for our sport and the team. Given that we haven\u2019t played at home since 2022, it\u2019ll probably be quite an emotional occasion for everyone involved, given the hard work that the team have put in since then and the success they\u2019ve subsequently had,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Craig Wallace said hosting the tri-series is an important step for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tri-series, to be held at The Grange Club, will begin on May 28 with Scotland taking on the Netherlands, followed by Scotland facing Bangladesh on May 30. Bangladesh will then meet the Netherlands on May 31. The action continues with Scotland playing Bangladesh again on June 2, before Scotland face the Netherlands on June 3. The final match of the series will see the Netherlands take on Bangladesh on June 4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
