England will play Scotland in an ODI at Edinburgh next year, the two boards confirmed today. The match, scheduled for June 19, will be England's second visit in three seasons, following the inaugural game in Edinburgh last year.
In recent years, Australia (2005 and 2009), Pakistan (2006), Pakistan and India (both 2007), New Zealand and England (both 2008) have played international cricket in Scotland. And even though Scotland's fixture list for 2010 is yet to be confirmed, England's trip will be one of the highlights of the home international season.
Roddy Smith, Cricket Scotland's chief executive, said: "This is great news, and we are delighted that England will visit Scotland again next year for the second official ODI between the two sides.
"The all-round support we receive from the ECB is fantastic, not only with the visit of their national side but also their assistance with our national development programmes. With the game taking place on a Saturday in June, I am sure that we will get a bumper crowd to support the Scotland side."
