WITH the frustration of a truncated World Cup appearance serving as motivation, Scotland will get back on the horse and try to improve their chances of qualifying for another one.
Hopes were high heading into this year’s T20 tournament off the back of a ground-breaking 2021 in which they made it through the first round for the first time in the country’s history.
Prospects of a repeat suffered a blow following a rain-blighted prep camp in Wangaratta, were reignited by a stunning opening win over the West Indies only to be extinguished by two disappointing defeats to Ireland and then Zimbabwe. The irony that Scotland would have qualified had that final match been rained off is certainly not lost on head coach Shane Burger. Not for the first time in Scottish cricket history, the weather didn’t play ball.
