Cricket World Cup League: Scotland have included pacers Charlie Cassell and Jasper Davidson in their 17-man squad for their men’s T20I series against Australia, starting in Edinburgh next month. This will be the first men’s bilateral T20I series between the two teams.

Cassell made headlines by picking 7-21 in his first international game - the best men’s ODI figures on debut - against Oman in the Cricket World Cup League 2 match in July. In that same game, Davidson also made his ODI debut and took four wickets.

“I’m hugely excited. It’s a wonderful opportunity to play one of the best teams in the world, and I’m pretty sure that our players won’t need any motivation for this series. It’s a great opportunity for them to share the field with world-class players. They’re wanting to put in some huge performances and compete, and really push this Australia team.”
