CRICKET Scotland have announced they are hosting 29 games during the ICC World T20 Qualifying.
The competition, which takes place over next month, is being jointly hosted by Ireland and 12 associate nations plus the two hosts will take part, with six places up for grabs for the T20 World Cup in India next year.

"As an organisation we are eager to show our ability both on and off the pitch, in what will be the most high-profile tournament to be hosted in Scotland since the 1999 World Cup.
"We will be hosting 29 matches on Scottish soil and are looking forward to welcoming the public to watch some high quality cricket while also giving Scotland their full support."
Entry to all matches for under-16s will be free of charge, as will all the games played at Stirling, Myreside and Goldenacre.
The ticketed fixtures are: Scotland-UAE, Thursday, July 9 at 10am, Netherlands-Afghanistan (same day) at 2.15pm, UAE-Afghanistan, Friday, July 10 at 2.15pm, Scotland-Netherlands, Saturday, July 11 at 10am, UAE-Netherlands, July 12, at 10am, Scotland-Afghanistan (same day) at 2.15pm
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
