Cricket Ireland is hopeful that a tri-series can be organised with Scotland and the Netherlands next month to give its players game time ahead of the World T20 Qualifiers in November after its plans were thrown into chaos with the postponement of the Euro T20 Slam.

The six-team tournament, whose teams included the Dublin Chiefs and Belfast Titans, was due to start on August 30 but the plug was pulled on Wednesday amid a swirl of rumours and an official line blaming cash-flow.
