Scotland will have little time to prepare for their ICC Intercontinental Cup clash with Canada after they were stranded in Bermuda by the after-effects of tropical storm Bertha.

The storm did not affect their ICC match against Bermuda at the National Sports Centre, but it hit the region afterwards and left the Scottish players stranded in their hotel rooms.

"The airport in Hamilton was shut down and the squad were unable to make their connection to Toronto," Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith said. "The guys were confined to their rooms all day to escape the worst of the wind and heavy rain.

"We were given the option of delaying the start of the Canada match by 24 hours, but we decided against that because of the tight schedule next week when the lads go to Belfast for the European Championships."

Scotland had less than a day to acclimitise to conditions which are far removed from those experienced in Bermuda with the match in Toronto starting yesterday.
