The ICC today confirmed that the fixtures that form the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 Europe Qualifier and the Europe Qualifier to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 have been moved to Spain.
The ICC release said:

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 pathway

The first event to be relocated from Scotland to Spain is the Europe Qualifier to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup South Africa 2023. The Qualifier, which is two steps away from the World Cup, with unchanged dates of 26-30 August, will see France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Scotland and Turkey all competing at La Manga, with France and Turkey taking part in an ICC women’s event for the first time ever.

The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 Europe Qualifier is also being relocated from Scotland to Spain and will now take place between 19 and 25 September at La Manga. Ireland, Jersey, the Netherlands and Scotland will all compete for one U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup spot.

The decision to move the events to Spain was taken after a period of consultation with the participating countries and relevant governments, where it was determined that it was the best possible chance for the events to take place due to COVID-19 restrictions in Scotland. Rescheduling the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Europe Qualifier to September was the only viable option to determine on the field of play, which team will qualify for the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022.

The decision was taken in consultation with all participating Members, and consequently, Denmark and Guernsey will not be able to participate due to a clash with the European school calendar.
