Hi all,

Ahead of the start of the 2026 Scottish domestic season, the transition process to PlayHQ is continuing, as Cricket Scotland moves to ensure player registration and live scoring exists on one all-encompassing platform, helping to streamline domestic cricket operations. We appreciate the support of all regional associations and clubs as we continue this process.

As a result, Cricket Scotland can confirm that the current regional association match centres (CS LIVE, ESCA LIVE, NESC LIVE, NoSCA LIVE, SPCU LIVE and WDCU LIVE) will be deactivated from 1 April 2026. The Cricket Scotland Live App will also be deactivated at the same time, to be replaced in due course by a new app which is linked to PlayHQ. Cricket Scotland will communicate more details about the new app at the appropriate time.

Cricket Scotland can confirm the data contained within the regional association match centres will be retained as part of the transition process to PlayHQ. We will update further on this data at an appropriate time within the transition process.

Regarding the Scottish Cricket Registration System (SCRS): SCRS will continue to operate for specific purposes until 31 July 2026. This will allow those who are attaining coaching, umpiring, or safeguarding qualifications during the first half of 2026 to access these courses and to add any acquired certificate evidence to their personal profiles. This information is important with regards to the 2026 safeguarding audit and allows anyone who is still to upload any outstanding certification to their profile to do so.
