Scotland’s exciting cricket team has some thrilling matches lined up in June! It’s not just that they’ll be hosting a series of one-day internationals and T20 matches. The matches will take place at Forfarshire Cricket Club in Dundee and Clydesdale in Glasgow. This is such a wonderful opportunity for the veterans and first time participants to display their talent.
The one-day internationals hosted at Forfarshire are CWCL2 fixtures, part of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) new league system for the associate and affiliate members. Scotland’s first match will be against Nepal on June 2, before taking on the Netherlands on June 6. The team will then play Nepal again on June 8 and finish the series against the Netherlands on June 12.
After the one-day games, Scotland will be turning their focus to T20s at Clydesdale. The team’s first match will be against the Netherlands on June 15, and they will face Nepal on June 17. Looking forward to the quarterfinals against the Netherlands on June 19! The series will conclude with a final doubleheader against Nepal the next day, June 20.
As it stands, Scotland are fourth in the CWCL2 table, with nine victories in 16 games so far. These are the perfect matches to heighten their competition and flip around their current standings. Besides offering practice for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier in July, they are important measures in boosting players’ exposure.
The major highlight among all of these announcements is the first senior international call-up for Mackenzie Jones, an Essex seamer. His inclusion in the squad is a further example of Scotland’s desire to develop young talents alongside seasoned professionals.
