Robertson receives first Scotland call-up as Ihsan & Jones return


Lyle Robertson has received a first senior Scotland call-up for August’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 series against Canada and the United Arab Emirates.

Falkland’s Robertson is one of three changes to the squad that toured Nepal in May, with Zainullah Ihsan and Michael Jones also returning.

Meanwhile, Michael Leask drops out, while the injured duo of Brad Currie and Owen Gould are unavailable.

“It’s great to welcome back Zainullah Ihsan and Michael Jones to the squad for this series,” said Scotland head coach Owen Dawkins.

“Zainullah has shown excellent progress across the summer with his performances in training, in club cricket for GHK and in regional cricket with Western Warriors.

“Michael missed our previous two tours due to his Lancashire commitments, so it’s exciting to have a player of his quality available again for a home series.

“We’re also pleased to award a first senior international call-up to Lyle Robertson. As a young player he represented Scotland at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in the Caribbean and since then he’s continued to show steady development.”

The upcoming series will be Scotland’s final CWCL2 fixtures, taking place at Forthill in Broughty Ferry.

The Scots currently sit second in the table, alongside the Netherlands, and are five points behind leaders United States.
