Lyle Robertson has received a first senior Scotland call-up for August’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 series against Canada and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
Falkland’s Robertson is one of three changes to the squad that toured Nepal in May, with Zainullah Ihsan and Michael Jones also returning.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Michael Leask drops out, while the injured duo of Brad Currie and Owen Gould are unavailable.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to welcome back Zainullah Ihsan and Michael Jones to the squad for this series,” said Scotland head coach Owen Dawkins.<\/p>\n
“Zainullah has shown excellent progress across the summer with his performances in training, in club cricket for GHK and in regional cricket with Western Warriors.<\/p>\n
“Michael missed our previous two tours due to his Lancashire commitments, so it’s exciting to have a player of his quality available again for a home series.<\/p>\n
“We’re also pleased to award a first senior international call-up to Lyle Robertson. As a young player he represented Scotland at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in the Caribbean and since then he’s continued to show steady development.”<\/p>\n
The upcoming series will be Scotland’s final CWCL2 fixtures, taking place at Forthill in Broughty Ferry.<\/p>\n
The Scots currently sit second in the table, alongside the Netherlands, and are five points behind leaders United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lyle Robertson has received a first senior Scotland call-up for August’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-713665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
