Kyle Coetzer leads Scotland against England in a sell-out cricket international at The Grange in Edinburgh on Sunday.
And he will be backed by a strong, 15-man squad in the Specsavers One Day International (ODI). Richie Berrington is named as vice-captain.
In-form Dylan Budge and former captain Preston Mommsen are both included in the squad which is similar to the one which travelled to Zimbabwe for the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) World Cup qualifiers.
Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif, Alasdair Evans and Stuart Whittingham lead the bowling attack.
And head coach Grant Bradburn admitted that picking the squad had been tough as so many players are knocking on the door.
Eoin Morgan skippers a strong England side and if you’ve not got a ticket then Sky Sports are televising the match.
England are the current No 1 team on the ICC world ODI ranking table.
And Scotland selectors believe this is a great opportunity for their rapidly-improving team to test themselves against the best in the world.
