“At the time, Doug Watson was the coach when we were talking around switching allegiances to try and play for Scotland,” Bruce relates. “We earmarked this T20 World Cup, the 2027 ODI World Cup and then in ’28, there’s another T20 World Cup. So, we looked at it from afar as three World Cups in three years would be pretty special if Scotland could make it there. It’s been nice having a change of allegiances. It was unfortunate we originally missed out on this (tournament) but to get a last-minute call-up was pretty special. The new coach, Owen Dawkins, and I have been chatting around just what the future holds as well, and hopefully trying to play as much cricket as I can for Scotland.”
