Cricket Scotland have moved quickly to sign up a lead arm sponsor for Scotland men who, after a last minute call up, open their world T20 campaign against West indies this weekend.
The team’s new playing kit will carry the logo of Edinburgh unicorn, Skyscanner, and is expected to be viewed by millions of fans around the world.
Scotland’s new, bespoke playing shirts were designed and shipped in under two weeks as the team qualified at the last minute when Bangladesh pulled out and undertook preparations to also face Italy, England and Nepal.
Trudy Lindblade, Cricket Scotland Chief Executive, said: “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup provides a unique opportunity to showcase Scottish
cricket to a global audience. Our story of being invited to the World Cup just ten days ago, building a staff and squad, designing a kit and securing a new partner is almost unprecedented.
“Our players are extremely proud to be wearing the Skyscanner logo on their striking new playing shirts.”
Clive Peoples, Chief Marketing Officer at Skyscanner added: “As a Scottish-founded company, Skyscanner is very proud to support Scotland
Men’s Cricket as the team represent their country at the World Cup.”
