The seemingly constant European Cricket Network T10 carnival has been in Bulgaria in the past couple of weeks and after an eight team club tournament won by Sofia Stars, the fortnight concluded with an international tri-series involving the hosts, Gibraltar and Serbia.

Gibraltar dominated the tournament, winning all six of their matches to finish with a perfect record. Hosts Bulgaria won three games against Serbia with the Serbians finishing the tri-series without a win.

Bulgaria are playing in the next European sub-regional qualifier for the 2026 T20 World Cup later this month, where they have been drawn in a group with Estonia, Finland, Malta and hosts Guernsey. How useful preparation this tri-series has been for that event remains to be seen.

ECN's relentless series of T10 tournaments moves to Rome for an eight team club event that starts tomorrow and lasts for twelve days. Their next international event has to wait until 7th September though, when Austria host five match series for both their men's and women's national teams against Sweden and Spain respectively that weekend.
