Scotland cricket have cancelled their one-off T20I against Australia, which was scheduled for June 29, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cancellation comes as bitterly disappointing news for Scotland. 2020 was shaping up to be a big one for Scottish cricket, with T20I matches at home to New Zealand and Australia to act as the best possible preparation for the T20 World Cup.

Now, with the T20 World Cup likely to be postponed, Scotland will have to continue to bide their time, after making excellent progress over the past few years. In 2017, they won their first ever ODI against a Full Member, beating Zimbabwe. In 2018, a memorable win over England saw optimism grow further.
