Three former Scotland players who starred for their clubs in East cricket will be inducted into Cricket Scotland’s Hall of Fame at ceremonies in Dundee this weekend.
Neil McCallum, Fraser Watts and George Reifer will be publicly recognised for their
contributions to the Scottish game during Scotland’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup
League Two fixtures at Forfarshire Cricket Club, against Canada on Friday 7 August and
UAE on Sunday 9 August.
On Friday, former international teammates Neil McCallum (Grange) and Fraser Watts (Carlton) will be
inducted together, recalling memories of successful batting partnerships for their
country.
Between them, the pair earned 339 caps for Scotland, with Neil playing 135
times between 2000 and 2011, and Fraser earning 204 caps from 1998 to 2012.
Both represented Scotland on the world stage at ICC World Cups as well as enjoying
great success over many years in Scottish domestic cricket.
Sunday sees the return to Scotland of George Reifer, who won 53 caps between
1991 and 1996. Hailing from Barbados, George spent several successful years as
club professional for Edinburgh Academicals and then Uddingston whom Cricket Scotland have thanked for supporting
George’s return to Scotland for his induction.
The ceremonies will be overseen by Omar Henry, President of Cricket Scotland.
