HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY BACK SCOTLAND WOMEN FOR T20 TRI-SERIES

Heriot-Watt University and Cricket Scotland are delighted to announce a continuation of their partnership with the university being confirmed as title sponsor for the forthcoming Women’s T20 International Tri-Series. 

 

The announcement extends the collaboration between the university and Cricket Scotland to a third year and will see the Heriot-Watt University logo continue to be displayed on the Scotland Women’s bi-lateral playing shirt.

 

Cricket Scotland and Heriot-Watt University first joined forces in 2024 for Scotland Women’s debut appearance at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in UAE and continued the partnership in 2025 which included support of Scotland U19 Women during their historic campaign at the ICC Women’s U19 World Cup in Malaysia.

The Heriot-Watt University Women’s T20 International Tri-Series will see Scotland play their first home fixtures since 2022, hosting Bangladesh and Netherlands at The Grange in Edinburgh as part of final preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup taking place in England next month.

 

Tickets for the Tri-Series are currently on sale – more details can be found HERE. Broadcasting details for the Tri-Series will be announced shortly.

 

Trudy Lindblade, Cricket Scotland Chief Executive said:

 

“On the eve of one of the most exciting periods for Scottish women’s cricket in its history, we are delighted to announce this title sponsorship for this important T20 Tri-Series.

 

“We are grateful for the continued support of Heriot-Watt University and its commitment to what is a flourishing and successful Scottish women’s cricket programme. Over the last three years, Scotland Women have reached new heights on the international stage, inspiring more girls and women across the country to take up the game of cricket.

 

“To host a women’s international series in Scotland for the first time in four years marks a significant moment for our sport. We are proud that this event is being supported by such a respected global institution, one that is proudly founded here in Edinburgh.”

 

Professor Dame Heather McGregor, Provost and Vice Principal of Heriot-Watt University Dubai, said:

 

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Scotland Women’s national cricket team for a third year, with Heriot-Watt University proud to serve as title sponsor of this year’s Women’s T20I Tri-Series.

 

“This series is an important moment in the international calendar as Scotland, Bangladesh and Netherlands prepare for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, and it reflects both the growing strength of the women’s game and the increasing global recognition it rightly deserves.

 

“What strikes me most about the Scotland team is not just their talent, but the way they play – with real discipline, determination and a strong sense of collective purpose. As they represent Scotland over the coming weeks, they will also inspire many others through their commitment and resilience.

 

“At Heriot-Watt, we are proud to support opportunities that celebrate women’s achievements in sport and encourage the next generation to pursue their ambitions with confidence. We will be cheering the team on throughout the series and wish them every success.”
