The 2024 Scotland Tri-Nation Series was the third round of the 2024–2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament, which was held in Scotland in July 2024.[1] The tri-nation series was contested by the men's national teams of Scotland, Namibia and Oman.[2] The matches were played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[3]

Originally scheduled for May 2024, the series was rescheduled to July due to "unprecedented poor weather" resulting in a delay in the preparation of the playing pitches.[4] A one-off Twenty20 International (T20I) match between Scotland and Oman was scheduled to be held following the League 2 series in May.[5] The T20I match was confirmed to be cancelled in Cricket Scotland's announcement of the series postponement in April 2024.[6]

Squads

 Namibia[7]  Oman[8]  Scotland[9]

Charlie Cassell was added to the Scotland squad on 15 July 2024 in place of Chris Sole, who was unavailable for personal reasons.[10]
