Scotland Adds Cassell and Davidson for Australia T20Is

The excitement in the air is that Scotland is going to play their first-ever bilateral T20I series against Australia this September. Heading into a very exciting period in Scottish cricket, two new names have been included in the squad: right-arm pacer Charlie Cassell and medium pacer Jasper Davidson. This inclusion put them against one of the elite sides in world cricket.

Experienced Squad with Exciting Additions

Charlie Cassell and Jasper Davidson are faces new to international cricket. The former recently blazed a trail in the CWC League 2 with 7 for 21 against Oman—the best ODI debut haul ever recorded. Meanwhile, the latter has been showing his One-Day Cup versatility for Somerset. Furthermore, he too showed his skills in the CWC League 2 when he took four wickets in his debut game against Oman. Both these players had made a debut, though they are pretty new, but they have shown that they have what it takes to play at the top level.

Against this backdrop, Scotland has chosen a 15-man squad comprising the same set of players who had participated in the T20 World Cup in June. Richie Berrington will captain the side again. An apt mix of experienced campaigners and new talent in the mold of Charlie Cassell and Jasper Davidson is bound to give a Philip to Scottish chances in this landmark series.

A Landmark Series

It has since become a breakthrough development for Scottish cricket. Australia has been out of the country for 11 years. The three games will be played on September 4, 6, and 7 at The Grange in Edinburgh. But a mere three months previously the teams had met in a far more competitive T20 World Cup game in St Lucia which Australia won by five wickets.

Scotland’s head coach, Doug Watson, is of the view that Cassell and Davidson can take much from this series. He is looking forward to the valuable experience of playing against a top team like Australia.  He has set specific targets for the series.  Scotland is all set to give brilliant performances and fight hard against Australia.

Thrill in Scottish Cricket

Upcoming matches have created a lot of anticipation among the viewers and fans. For Scotland, it’s a chance to prove worthiness and say something on the international front. Not only the players but the Scottish cricket fans will also relish this moment. As the series inches closer, Cassell and Davidson will be in the eyes of everyone. Their recent performances suggest that the impact they can make might be deep. The experience of these T20 World Cup players will also come in handy in guiding the team through this tough series.

What can be expected is an exciting series of lined-up activities for this week. It is surely going to be an event that people will remember, considering the competitive matches and the prospect of watching some of the world’s best international cricketers. Scotland is all set to face an exciting clash with Australia. With a blend of emerging talent and experienced veteran players, this team is set for an ostentatious fightback. The fans can look forward to the excitement, showing off how Scotland’s presence in the world of cricket is slowly but surely increasing.
