Brad Wheal Named in Scotland Squad to Tour Hong Kong

Hampshire fast-bowler Brad Wheal has been named in Scotland’s 15-man squad for their next round of World Cricket League and Intercontinental Cup fixtures in January and February against Hong Kong.

Wheal, who made his first Scottish appearance last summer in Glasgow during a Scotland XI’s win over the MCC in August, taking 7 wickets in the match, qualifies through his Scottish mother.

The fixtures will be a brilliant opportunity for Wheal to stake a claim for place in Scotland’s squad for the ICC World T20 competition in March.

The 19-year old enjoyed an impressive first year at the The Ageas Bowl, making four first-class appearances during the 2015 season including a best of 4-101 against Middlesex at Lord’s in June. 

Scotland squad in full: Preston Mommsen (Captain), Alasdair Evans, Bradley Wheal, Calum MacLeod, Con de Lange, George Munsey, Josh Davey, Kyle Coetzer, Mark Watt, Matt Machan, Matthew Cross, Michael Leask, Richie Berrington, Rob Taylor, Safyaan Sharif.

January 21-24: I-Cup match,

January 26: First ODI

January 28: Second ODI

January 30: First T20I
