Australia is set for a historic first ever bi-lateral series against Scotland, playing three T20 internationals on September 4, 6 and 7 at The Grange in Edinburgh. These will be the first matches for Australia in Scotland since 2013 and take place immediately before the ODI and T20I series against England. This will also be Australia’s first engagement since the men’s T20I World Cup. The two teams clashed during that tournament in St Lucia and Scotland almost pulled off a miraculous win against the Aussies. The performance showcased the progress that the Scotland men’s team has made during the last few years.
Australia have named a strong line-up, led by captain Mitchell Marsh. Exciting opener Jake Fraser-McGurk will be seen in Australian colours for the first time after creating a name for himself in franchise cricket. Travis Head, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa are some of the top stars in a full-strength Australia squad. Scotland will be led by Richie Berrington, with the squad featuring all its World Cup performers including George Munsey, Brandon McMullen, and Chris Greaves. Speaking about the series, Cricket Scotland CEO, Trudy Lindblade, said, “This is a historic tour for Scottish cricket and shows the huge progress the game has made during the last few years. FanCode has always been amongst our biggest supporters, and we are delighted to once again partner with them for broadcast in India. We are delighted to welcome Australia to Edinburgh and very much hope that this series paves the way for more regular tours of Test playing nations to Scotland.”
