International cricket tour

The Ireland women's cricket team were scheduled to play the Scotland women's cricket team in Spain in November 2020.[1][2] The tour would have consisted of two 50-over matches and three Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[3][4] All of the matches would have been played at the La Manga Club in Cartagena,[5][6] played behind closed doors, due to COVID-19 restrictions.[7] Shortly before the scheduled tour, the Spanish government had increased restrictions in the country due to a second wave of the virus.[8] Both teams and the match officials were scheduled to stay in the same hotel in a secure bio-environment.[9]

However, in November 2020, the tour was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[10] after Scotland withdrew from the series.[11][12] An attempt was made to reschedule to series for March 2021.[13] However, the series was called off after the health authorities in Spain made an extension on travel restrictions on UK citizens until the end of the month.[14] Both cricket boards expressed their disappointment at the cancellation,[15] with the Scotland team planning to use the matches as their preparation for the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament.[16]
