TheScotland women's national cricket team representsScotland in internationalwomen's cricket. The team is organised byCricket Scotland, an associate member of theInternational Cricket Council (ICC).
Scotland was involved in the first international women's cricket match, when they played againstEngland in August 1932. The team played sporadically throughout the remainder of the 20th century, with regular competition beginning only in 2000. Scotland's first international tournament was the2001 European Championship, where matches heldOne Day International (ODI) status.
In April 2018, the ICC granted fullWomen's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, allTwenty20 matches played between Scotland women and another international side after 1 July 2018 have the full WT20I status.[6] In May 2022, the ICC announced Scotland as one of five women's sides to gain ODI status.[7]Netherlands,Papua New Guinea,Thailand and theUnited States are the other four teams.[8] In 2024, Scotland created history by reaching their first ever senior global tournament, as they qualified for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
In August 1932 (93 years ago) (1932-08), a Scottish women's team playedEngland atNew Road, Worcester, in what was the first international women's cricket fixture. Four members of the inaugural Scottish women's side –Betty Snowball,Myrtle Maclagan,Joy Liebert, andBetty Archdale – later played inTest matches for England.[9] After 1932, a Scottish women's team was not raised again until 1979, when a fixture was played against aJunior England team atMalvern College,Worcestershire.[10]
Scotland made their international tournament debut at the2001 edition of theWomen's European Championship. They lost all three games, finishing last in the four-team tournament. Two years later, they played in the2003 IWCC Trophy, the inaugural edition of what is now known simply as theWorld Cup Qualifier. They finished fifth in the six-team tournament, which was hosted by the Netherlands, with their only win coming againstJapan.
They again played in the European Championship in 2005, but again went without a win and finished last. In 2008 they competed in the Women's World Cup qualifier inSouth Africa, finishing sixth in the tournament.
In 2014, Scotland was promoted to Division 2 of theWomen's County Championship after losing only one game throughout the season.[11] However, they suffered relegation the following season. In 2015, Scotland participated in the ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifiers for the first time, finishing fourth at the tournament in Thailand.[12]
In April 2018,Kathryn Bryce was named the captain of the team.[13] In July 2018, Scotland played its first official T20 international match againstUganda in the2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier in theNetherlands.
In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[14] Scotland was named in the2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier regional group, alongside five other teams.[15]
Mark Coles resigned as head coach in January 2022. He was replaced byPeter Ross on an interim basis in March 2022, through to the end of the2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE.[16]
In October 2024, Scotland made their first appearance at aWomen's T20 World Cup thanks to reaching the final of the 10-team globalqualifier, defeating higher-ranked teams such as Thailand and Ireland en route to the final.[17][18] They were knocked out in the group stages of the World Cup, after defeats to Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa and England.[19]
