Saltires' final CB40 campaign next season includes two groups of three matches in five days which will give them an opportunity to create genuine momentum.
The Scots bring down the curtain on 33 years of action against county opposition after being excluded from a revamped competition from 2014, and they will be eager to make a better impression than this year when they managed just one win among seven defeats in a rain-affected summer. They open on May 5 away to Hampshire, featuring the former Saltires batsman George Bailey, who is Australia's T20 captain, then entertain Essex for the first time in nine years a week later, before hosting a Bank Holiday double-header against Derbyshire and Surrey on May 26 and 27.
After four away games in June and another at the start of August, the return game against Surrey at the Oval, they conclude their campaign with home games against Durham, Hampshire and Lancashire.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
