Scotland will host the next ICC Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament in 2013.
Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith confirmed the decision, following a board meeting in December, where it was formally agreed to accept the ICC’s invitation to stage the event.
Smith said: “It is too good an opportunity to miss this chance to compete for a World Cup place in our own familiar environment.
“It will certainly provide a focus for the sport in Scotland and we are fortunate in the associate cricket world to have so many high-quality facilities available throughout the country for this purpose.”
The qualifying tournament is scheduled for July 2013 and the initial plan is to involve up to 11 venues to stage warm-up games and the matches themselves.
