Scotland Men’s national squad will go through 6 days of T20I action between 12th – 20th Jun, 2018 and the matches will be crucial to their T20I Team rankings if they manage to win all of them.
Scotland are currently in 11th spot in ICC T20I Team rankings behind Bangladesh and although the gap is pretty big to cover, good points against the likes of Pakistan, Ireland & Netherlands will get them a bit closer to them.
Kyle Coetzer will once again lead the T20I side after the solitary ODI against England in the two T20I games against Pakistan and the Netherlands T20I Tri-series. The home series against Pakistan will be played at Grange CC ground.
Craig Wallace makes his return in the T20I squad along with Hamza Tahir, who impressed during Scotland “A” tours of Bath CC and Lancashire CC at Neston. Dylan Budge too comes into the T20I squad following his selection in the squad for England ODI.
Safyaan Sharif and Brad Wheal have been playing white-ball cricket in England and their experience will be vital for Scotland in the high pressure games.
Scotland squad for Pakistan T20I series & Netherlands T20I Tri-series:
Kyle Coetzer (Captain), Richie Berrington (vice-captain), Dylan Budge, Matthew Cross, Alasdair Evans, Craig Wallace, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Hamza Tahir, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal & Stuart Whittingham
