Scotland Announces Squad for Upcoming T20I Tri-Series in Netherlands
The T20I tri-series, set to take place in Amstelveen, Netherlands from 18 to 24 May, will see Scotland participating with a 14-member squad led by Richie Berrington.
This tri-series, featuring three teams that will be participating in June’s T20 World Cup, provides an ideal opportunity for teams to refine their squads for the prestigious event. Teams have until 25 May to make changes to their squads, post which any changes will require the approval of the ICC’s Event Technical Committee.
Scotland T20I Squad:
Richie Berrington (c), Matthew Cross, Brad Currie, Chris Greaves, Oli Hairs, Jack Jarvis, Michael Leask, Gavin Main, Brandon McMullen, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Charlie Tear, Mark Watt.
The announced squad closely mirrors the one that Scotland fielded in the T20I series against the UAE, with the exception of two players.
Andrew Umeed, who was part of the squad for the UAE series, is absent from the list due to an injury sustained during the T20Is. He has been replaced by 19-year-old promising batter Charlie Tear.
Tear, who debuted for the senior team in March, played in two T20Is against UAE and scored 16 runs in each match.
The other player not included in the list is spinner James Dickinson, who made his debut against the UAE and featured in only one match.
Scotland demonstrated impressive performance in the series. Despite losing the first game by eight wickets, they bounced back to secure back-to-back victories, winning the series 2-1.
