Scotland name experienced squad

Scotland have named an experienced squad for their crucial ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Ireland which takes place at Mannofield, Aberdeen this weekend. The only youngster in the 12-man squad is teenager Sean Weeraratna, who is in Holland this week playing for Scotland in the U23 European Championship.

Following Scotland's washout against Holland last month, they have to win this match, and win it well, to have any chance of progressing into the semi--finals in Namibia in October. Scotland won the inaugural competition last November.

Scotland squad Craig Wright (captain), Cedric English, Paul Hoffmann, Steve Knox, Douglas Lockhart, Gregor Maiden, Dewald Nel, Colin Smith, Ian Stanger, Ryan Watson, Fraser Watts, Sean Weeraratna.
