Ireland women's cricket team against Scotland in Spain in 2020–21

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]
