Originally scheduled for May 2024, the series was rescheduled to July due to "unprecedented poor weather" resulting in a delay in the preparation of the playing pitches.[4] A one-off Twenty20 International (T20I) match between Scotland and Oman was scheduled to be held following the League 2 series in May.[5] The T20I match was confirmed to be cancelled in Cricket Scotland's announcement of the series postponement in April 2024.[6]
