Royal death delays Scotland semi

Sheikh Zayed had been president of the UAE since 1971

Scotland's ICC Intercontinental Cup semi-final has been put back 24 hours following the death of the president of the United Arab Emirates.

The three-day game against Kenya in Abu Dhabi will now begin on 17 November.

All sport has been cancelled in the UAE until that date because of a national period of mourning for His Highness Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

The Scotland squad, captained Craig Wright, will still fly out from Glasgow on Friday as originally planned.

If they beat Kenya, they will then face either the UAE or Kenya in the final, which will begin on the 21st.
