New Zealand cricket team in Scotland in 2022
The New Zealand cricket team are scheduled to tour Scotland in July 2022 to play two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches and a single One Day International (ODI). The matches will be played at The Grange Club in Edinburgh. The fixtures in Scotland will make up the third leg of New Zealand's tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, following a Test series in England and limited overs fixtures in Ireland. Background. The New Zealand cricket team was scheduled to tour Scotland in June 2020 to play a One Day International (ODI ) match and a Twenty20 International (T20I) match. It would have been the first time since 2008 that the New Zealand team have toured Scotland. New Zealand were also scheduled to tour Ireland in the same month to play three ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). Originally scheduled to be a one-off ODI match, Cricket Scotland announced the addition of the T20I match in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic put the tour in doubt. In April 2020, David White, Chief Executive of New Zealand Cricket, said that the tour would be "most unlikely" to happen. Later the same month, Gus  Mackay, Chief Executive of Cricket Scotland, said that they were willing to host the matches behind closed doors if necessary. However, the tour was postponed on 15 May 2020 as a result of the pandemic.
