Scotland performance academy

Cricket World Cup League: Scotland fast-bowler Charlie Cassell, who clinched a stunning seven-wicket haul on his ODI debut against Oman in July, said he never imagined achieving these figures and felt awesome afterwards.

Cassell bowled a record-breaking spell of 7-21 in his 5.4 overs – the best figures for any bowler on ODI debut, beating the record previously held by South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada. His astonishing performance meant Scotland bowled out Oman for 91 in their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 match and secured an eight-wicket win.

"You never dream of getting seven-for so to get it on debut was awesome. The wickets just kept coming, before I knew it, I'd already bowled five overs and had six-for, and then to get seven was just crazy, honestly. I was really pumped to just be involved in the squad, and then be able to play and obviously the performances that came from that and what followed is really rewarding," said Cassell to cricket.com.au.
