Credit to BCCI for Japan v India T20 international - 40 places between them in rankings, but if cricket is to truly globalise it needs these gestures. Meanwhile, England's men have never played Scotland in a T20 outside of WCs. Last ODI was 2018. ECB should do more for Europe.

ICC tweak qualifying pathway for next year's European qualifier to make it a six-team event rather than four. This is to make it consistent with other regions (Asia, Africa, Americas and EAP). Beaten sub-regional finalists Spain and Guernsey now in as the 'next best' teams.

Can Portugal get to a T20 World Cup? Well, they've just beaten Spain by 57 runs to win European sub-regional qualifier C. Moises Henriques finishes with 196 runs at 65.33. 🇪🇸 record T20I winning streak ends. Next step for 🇵🇹 is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , 🇯🇪 and 🇩🇰 in Euro regional final in 2027.
