Cricket Scotland (CS) will be hosting the Men’s National teams from Netherlands and Nepal for an ODI Tri-series from June 02nd – 12th, 2025, which will be the twelfth (12th) round of the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle (Qualification pathway tournament towards 2027 CWC Global Qualifier). Top four (4) after completion of 36 ODIs for all in the CWC League 2 Championship will qualify directly for 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier (CWCQ). Bottom four (4) teams in the points table will then compete in CWC Qualifier Play-off tournament, along with four (4) teams from the Challenge League competitions (Top 2 teams from both groups) for four (4) spots in CWCQ.
Currently, it is unknown if there will be a T20I Tri-series or Bi-lateral T20Is between the teams after the conclusion of the ODI Tri-series. As per the original Men’s Associate FTP, T20Is (either a Tri-series or Bi-lateral) were scheduled as part of each Tri-series in the CWC League 2 ODI Championship, but it depends on the participating boards on their own arrangements, as it is not part of ICC funding.

One thought on “Cricket Scotland to host Netherlands and Nepal for ODI Tri-series in June 2025”
A step in the right direction to play more number of games and exhibit the talent to the ICC and build a case to have the Full Member teams to send a team to play ODI /T 20 I to develop and improve cricket for Associate teams and bring in large crowds to the stadium which could generate some revenue to the host nation.
Also if the Associate teams can import 2 or 3 players from the Full Member teams who could fulfil their dream of representing in International scene and their valueable domestic expertise adds on to the development of the game for Associate teams
