Scotland’s Intercontinental Cup match with title rivals Kenya has been scheduled for January.

Gavin Hamilton’s men sit six points ahead of Kenya and Zimbabwe after a victory over Canada and a draw against Ireland in their opening two matches.

Scotland – who are looking to win their first Intercontinental Cup since 2004 – were then due to play Zimbabwe at a neutral venue in February.

But Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith said: “It looks likely the Zimbabwe fixture will take place later next year.

“We are now awaiting confirmation from the ICC we will be heading to Nairobi to play Kenya in January.”
