Edinburgh: Cricket Scotland on Tuesday announced the 15-member squad for Nepal’s men’s ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tour, during which they will face the home team and the United States (USA).
Experienced middle-order batsman Richie Berrington will continue to lead Scotland’s side, which features off-spinner Ollie Jones, while top-order batsman Michael English also marks a return.
Jones had an impressive performance at the ICC Men’s U19 World Cup earlier this year, while English was recalled for his recent strong performances.
Left-arm seamer Bradley Currie also returned to the squad after missing the tour of Namibia, with the team missing regulars including Chris McBride and Mackenzie Jones.
Nepal’s upcoming tour marks Scotland’s second visit since February 2023, when they lifted the trophy at the end of the previous ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 series.
Scotland, second in the CWCL2 standings behind USA, will face both the leaders and Nepal in a bid to strengthen their push to qualify for next year’s ICC Men’s World Cup World Cup qualifiers.
Scotland squad for Nepal tour: Richie Berrington (c), Matthew Cross, Bradley Currie, Jasper Davidson, Oliver Davidson, Michael English, Owen Gould, Jack Jarvis, Ollie Jones, Michael Leask, Finlay McGreath, Brandon McMullan, George Munsey, Safyan Sharif and Mark Watt.
