‘Dale to stage four ODIs in July
Clydesdale CC and Ayr CC are to host an ODI Tri-Series between Scotland, Namibia and Nepal in July, as part of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 qualifying tournament.
Cricket Scotland announced the news this week, and it will be the first time since 2014 that the Titwood ground will have hosted full ICC One-Day Internationals.
Four of the six matches have been allocated to the Glasgow club, namely two matches each between Scotland and the visiting teams. The other two games, between Namibia and Nepal, will be hosted at New Cambusdoon by Ayr Cricket Club.
With Scotland currently sitting second in the seven-team League 2 table, Namibia occupying fourth and Nepal in sixth position, there is much to play for, as the Top Three teams will qualify for the final qualification group leading to the 2023 World Cup in India.
Jatinder Dhami, Clydesdale Cricket’s Project Manager said: “We are excited that international cricket is returning to Titwood. It’s great for the club and for followers in the west. And It offers groundsman Martin McAllister a first opportunity to showcase the venue at full international level.”
Nepal have only visited Scotland once before, in 2015. Namibia have been more frequent visitors, most recently in 2017 for two ODIs in Edinburgh, each side winning one game, after Scotland skipper Kyle Coetzer and Clydesdale’s run-maker Richie Berrington each made a century in one of the matches.
Fixtures Schedule
10th July – Scotland vs Namibia (Titwood)
11th July – Namibia vs Nepal (New Cambusdoon)
13th July – Scotland vs Nepal (Titwood)
14th July – Scotland vs Namibia (Titwood)
16th July – Namibia vs Nepal (New Cambusdoon)
17th July – Scotland vs Nepal (Titwood)
All matches will start at 11am and will be live-streamed on www.icc.tv. Tickets for all matches will be available via the Cricket Scotland website from 1st June.
Alastair Moss
Clydesdale Cricket Club is addened to learn of the death of Alastair Moss on 2nd May 2022 at the age of 92. Alastair was a successful captain of the club’s second team in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was an energetic captain who had the happy knack of getting the best out of players and he was keen on giving younger players an opportunity to shine.
Up until a few years ago Alastair made occasional visits to Titwood to watch cricket in the company of his long-standing friend and erstwhile team mate Leon Newman.
The club’s thoughts are with his children Edith, Kenneth, Alan (also a Clydesdale cricketer) and Aileen and their families at this difficult time.
