Zimbabwe Squad Arrives In Scotland

The Zimbabwe senior men’s cricket squad has arrived in Scotland on the first leg of a tour that also includes the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.

The squad, which left Harare on Sunday evening for Dubai en route to Glasgow, arrived in Scotland’s largest city on Monday afternoon and then traveled by bus to the capital, Edinburgh, where the matches will be played.

The first one-day international (ODI) between Scotland and Zimbabwe is on Thursday and the second on Saturday, both at The Grange.

Because Scotland are hosting Namibia in the second of two International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cricket League Championship 50-over matches at The Grange, and rain has made all the other alternate venues in the Scottish capital unplayable, Zimbabwe will practice at an indoor facility today.

Ryan Burl, who is with the Zimbabwe academy side training and playing in England, joined the national squad last night, while two other academy players – Tarisai Musakanda and Richard Ngarava – were expected in Edinburgh from Liverpool this morning.

The last time Zimbabwe played Scotland was during the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 tournament, when Zimbabwe won by 11 runs.

After the two ODI matches against Scotland, the Zimbabwe squad will go to the Netherlands on Sunday, for three one-day matches. These will be in Amsterdam on the 21st, 23rd and 25th of June.
