The '''Scotland men's national cricket team''' represents the country of [[Scotland]]. They play their home matches at [[The Grange Club|The Grange, Edinburgh]], and also some other venues.

Scotland became Associate Members of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) in 1994<ref name="ScoCA">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Countries/24.html Scotland] at CricketArchive</ref> after severing links with the [[England cricket team]] two years earlier. Since then, they have played in three [[Cricket World Cup|ODI World Cups]] (1999, 2007 and 2015) and five [[ICC Men's T20 World Cup|T20 World Cup]] tournaments (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021 and 2022). However, their first win in either of these events did not come until they beat [[Hong Kong national cricket team|Hong Kong]] in the [[2016 ICC World Twenty20|2016 T20 World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Muthu |first=Deivarayan |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/981675.html |title=Scotland end win drought at ICC global events |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |date=12 March 2016 |access-date=13 March 2016}}</ref> Scottish cricket team is governed by [[Cricket Scotland]].

Scotland have also played in every [[ICC Intercontinental Cup]] tournament, winning the inaugural edition in [[2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup|2004]]. Between 2010 and 2013, the team competed in the [[ECB 40]] as the '''Scottish Saltires'''.

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full [[Twenty20 International]] (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all [[Twenty20]] matches played between Scotland and other [[List of International Cricket Council members|ICC members]] after 1 January 2019 are a full T20I.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/672322|title=All T20 matches between ICC members to get international status|work=[[International Cricket Council]]|date=26 April 2018|access-date=1 September 2018}}</ref>

==History==
===Before ICC Membership===
The first recorded cricket match in Scotland took place in [[Alloa]] in 1785.<ref name="Hist">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/SCOTLAND/DATABASE/SCL/history.shtml A History of Cricket in Scotland] at the official Cricket Scotland website {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703210026/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/SCOTLAND/DATABASE/SCL/history.shtml |date=3 July 2007 }}</ref> It would be another eighty years, however, before Scotland's national side played their first full match, against the English county [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey]] in 1865, which they won by 172 runs.

The first Scottish Cricket Union was formed in 1879, and the national team beat [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] by 7 wickets three years later. The cricket union became defunct in 1883, and Grange Cricket Club took over the administration of the game until 1909. The first match against [[Ireland cricket team|Ireland]] took place in [[Dublin]] in 1888, with Ireland winning. Scotland played their first match to be afforded [[first-class cricket|first-class status]] against the touring Australians in 1905, with the Scottish side being captained to a draw by [[Hubert Johnston (cricketer)|Hubert Johnston]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/237637.html|title=Wisden - Obituaries in 1910|date=17 February 2006 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=1 November 2022}}</ref> They also played South Africa, West Indies, an all-Indian team, and New Zealand before the start of World War II.

1948 saw Australia visit Scotland for two games at the end of their tour of England. These games, both of which were won by the Australians, were to be the last international games for [[Don Bradman]]. The Don signed off in typical style, making a fine unbeaten 123 in the innings victory.<ref name="Ref_c">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/18/18709.html Scorecard] of Scotland v Australia, 17 September 1948 at Cricket Archive</ref>

Scotland first competed in English domestic cricket in 1980, when they competed in the [[Benson & Hedges Cup]] for the first time. Three years later they took part in the NatWest Trophy. Their first Benson & Hedges win came against [[Lancashire County Cricket Club|Lancashire]] in 1986.

===Scottish cricketers===

The most famous cricketers to have come from Scotland are probably the former England captain, [[Mike Denness]], Warwickshire all-rounder [[Dougie Brown]], and former England Test player [[Gavin Hamilton (cricketer)|Gavin Hamilton]]. Another great Scottish cricketer was [[Brian Hardie]], who was a major contributor to the successful Essex side of the 1970s and 1980s. Possibly one of the best spinners and certainly a respected journalist was the aptly named [[Ian Peebles]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/Overall/Wisden_Cricketers_of_the_Year.html|title=The Home of CricketArchive|website=cricketarchive.com|access-date=29 May 2018}}</ref> who was one of the cricketers of the year in 1931 alongside Don Bradman.

The most infamous cricketer, a man who was vilified in Australia, was a Scot, [[Douglas Jardine]], father to and inventor of "Leg Theory", which is well documented under "[[Bodyline]]". Jardine was born in British India, and died in Switzerland, spending most of his life in England. However, his parents were Scottish. He asked for his ashes to be scattered in Scotland and gave his own children Scottish names.

===ICC Membership===

In 1992, Scotland severed their ties with the [[Test and County Cricket Board]] (TCCB) and England, and gained [[List of International Cricket Council members#Associate Members|Associate Membership of the ICC]] in their own right in 1994.<ref name="ScoCA"/> They competed in the [[ICC World Cup Qualifier|ICC Trophy]] for the first time in [[1997 ICC Trophy|1997]], finishing third and qualifying for the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]], where they played their first ODI.<ref name="WC99">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC99/ 1999 Cricket World Cup] at [[Cricinfo]]</ref>

The [[2001 ICC Trophy]] saw them finish 4th, losing a play-off game to [[Canada national cricket team|Canada]],<ref name="ICCT01">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT2001/ 2001 ICC Trophy] at Cricinfo</ref> but they won the [[2005 ICC Trophy|2005 tournament]], beating long-time rivals Ireland in the final. 2004 saw Scotland first confirm themselves as one of the leading associate nations by winning the inaugural [[ICC Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]]. However, they did not progress beyond the first round in the 2005 tournament.<ref name="ICCup05">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005/OTHERS/ICC-CONT/ 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup] at Cricinfo</ref>

===2006===
[[File:Ryan watson india odi.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Scotland's [[Ryan Watson (cricketer)|Ryan Watson]] plays through backward point for a boundary against India at Glasgow's [[Citylets Titwood|Titwood]] ground, 16 August 2007]]
March 2006 saw Scotland embark on a pre-season tour to [[Barbados]]. They performed with some credit, although they only won one of their 6 games, against a Barbados XI.<ref name="Ref_d">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/WI/2005-06_WI_Scotland_XI_in_Barbados_2005-06.html Scotland in Barbados 2006] at Cricket Archive</ref> They owed much of their success to Nik Morton, who re-qualified to represent Scotland internationally in 2004. They competed in the [[Friends Provident Trophy|C & G Trophy]] in [[County cricket|English domestic cricket]] in the early part of the [[2006 English cricket season]]. They performed better than expected, winning three of their nine games, and finishing eighth in the Northern conference.<ref name="Ref_e">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Events/Tables/Cheltenham_and_Gloucester_Trophy_2006.html 2006 C & G Trophy points table] at Cricket Archive</ref>

In June, they played their first ODI since the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]] when they took on [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in Edinburgh.<ref name="ODIList">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Records/Scotland/Odis/Odi_List.html List of Scotland's ODIs] at Cricket Archive</ref> Without key players Dougie Brown and [[Navdeep Poonia]], they lost by five wickets.<ref name="Ref_f">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/96/96843.html Scorecard] of Scotland v Pakistan, 27 June 2006 at Cricket Archive</ref> They finally got their first ODI win in the [[European Cricket Championship|European Championships]] in August with a win over [[Netherlands national cricket team|Holland]] in a rain-shortened game.<ref name="Ref_g">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/96/96847.html Scorecard] of Scotland v Holland, 6 August 2006 at Cricket Archive</ref> They again missed key players for some games in this tournament though, and thanks to their loss against Ireland, finished second in the tournament.<ref name="EC06">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEUROPE/DATABASE/2006/TOURNAMENTS/EURODIV1/about.shtml 2006 European Championship Division One] at CricketEurope</ref>

During 2006 and early 2007, Scotland participated in the third edition of the [[2006–07 ICC Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]]. They beat [[Namibia national cricket team|Namibia]] by an innings in May 2006, but draws against Ireland in August and the [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|United Arab Emirates]] in January 2007 meant that they failed to reach the final.<ref name="ICCup06">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEUROPE/DATABASE/2006/TOURNAMENTS/INTERCONTINENTAL/about.shtml 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup] at CricketEurope</ref> In December 2006, they travelled to Test nation [[Bangladesh]] for a two-match ODI series – their first outside the UK – but lost both matches heavily.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/264072.html |title=Scotland tour of Bangladesh, 2006/07 |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |access-date=13 March 2016}}</ref>

===2007===
In January 2007, after the Intercontinental Cup match against United Arab Emirates in [[Sharjah (city)|Sharjah]], they travelled to [[Kenya]], first playing in a [[Associates Triangular Series in Kenya in 2006-07|tri-series]] against [[Canada national cricket team|Canada]] and [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] in [[Mombasa]], where they finished second.<ref name="Ref_h">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Events/Tables/ICC_Associates_Kenya_Tri-Series_2006-07.html ICC Associates Kenya tri-series 2007 points table] at Cricket Archive</ref> This was followed by [[2007 ICC World Cricket League Division One|Division One]] of the [[World Cricket League]] in [[Nairobi]], where Scotland finished as runners up.<ref name="WCL107">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/96/96884.html Scorecard] of Kenya v Scotland, WCL Division One final, 7 February 2007 at Cricket Archive</ref>

They then travelled to [[West Indies]] for their second [[Cricket World Cup|World Cup]]. They again lost all their games and failed to progress beyond the first round.<ref name="WC07">[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC2007/ 2007 Cricket World Cup] at Cricinfo</ref> Back in the UK, they competed in the [[Friends Provident Trophy]], their only win coming against Lancashire.<ref name="Ref_i">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEUROPE/DATABASE/2007/TOURNAMENTS/FPTROPHY/about.shtml 2007 Friends Provident Trophy] at CricketEurope</ref> They also drew an Intercontinental Cup match against United Arab Emirates.<ref name="Ref_j">[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/123/123037.html Scorecard] of Scotland v United Arab Emirates, 27 June 2007 at Cricket Archive</ref> An ODI against Pakistan in July was washed out.<ref name="Ref_k">[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES/articles/000050/005010.shtml Rain denies Scots a shot at Pakistan] by Jon Coates, 2 July 2007 at Cricket Scotland's official site</ref>

In July, Scotland took part in a [[Quadrangular Series in Ireland in 2007|quadrangular series]] in Ireland against the hosts, Holland and [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]]. However, the endeavour was not a success. They lost their matches against Ireland and West Indies, with the match against Holland being abandoned due to rain.

At the beginning of August, Scotland were on Intercontinental Cup duty as they beat Holland by an innings and 59 runs. They then drew with Ireland in a rain-affected match, only gaining 3 points after a poor 1st innings display. [[India national cricket team|India]] were Scotland's next ODI opponents in mid-August, which was shown live on BBC Scotland from Titwood, Glasgow. The match was reduced slightly to 46 overs after a couple of brief showers, but India won by 7 wickets.

Having reached the final of the [[World Cricket League]] earlier in the year, Scotland qualified to play in the [[2007 Twenty20 World Championship|Twenty20 World Championship]] held in South Africa. They lost by 51 runs to Pakistan in their first game, and did not get a chance to play their other Group D opponents [[India national cricket team|India]], as the game was washed out without a ball being bowled.

===2008===

In July 2008, Scotland played a [[2008 Associates Tri-Series in Scotland|tri-series]] against New Zealand and Ireland in [[Aberdeen]], Scotland. Scotland beat Ireland but lost their match against New Zealand.

In early August, Scotland participated with five other Associate nations in the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier]] in Belfast. Despite an initial loss to hosts Ireland, victory against Bermuda secured a semi final slot. Throwing off the disappointment of an unexpected loss to Holland in the semi-final a few hours earlier, Scotland bounced right back for a 9 wicket victory over Kenya (who had advanced ahead of Canada), to secure third place. However, with only two nations guaranteed to progress, qualification for the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]] was only granted when Zimbabwe confirmed that they would not attend the tournament.

On 18 August, Scotland played their first ODI encounter against England. Hosting the Auld Enemy, at the Grange Cricket Club in [[Edinburgh]]. However the match was abandoned due to rain after less than 3 overs of England's reply to Scotland's 156/9.

In December 2008, [[Cricket Scotland]], the governing body of Scottish cricket, took the historic act of giving three Scotland players central contracts. Bowlers [[Gordon Goudie]] and [[Dewald Nel]] and captain [[Ryan Watson (cricketer)|Ryan Watson]] became the first full-time professional cricketers based in Scotland. Nineteen other cricketers have been offered part-time professional deals.<ref name="Ref_2008">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/scotland/7791293.stm |title=Scots trio handed central deals |work=BBC Online |date=19 December 2008 }} Retrieved on 20 December 2008.</ref>

===2009===
Scotland participated in the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]] in England in June 2009. They were drawn alongside Test nations [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in Group D, with both matches being played at [[The Oval]] in London.

The first match, against New Zealand, was shortened to 7 overs per side due to rain. Scotland batted first and made 89/4, with [[Kyle Coetzer]] top-scoring with 33. However, three no-balls and a dropped catch enabled New Zealand to win by seven wickets with an over to spare.<ref name="Ref_2009">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/scotland/8086118.stm |title=New Zealand given scare by Scots |work=BBC Sport |date=6 June 2009 |access-date=23 May 2010}}</ref>

In the second match, South Africa made 211/5, with [[AB de Villiers]] hitting 79 not out off only 34 balls. In response, Scotland were bowled out for 81, more than half of which was scored by Coetzer (42). The 130-run margin of defeat was the second-largest in terms of runs in a Twenty20 International.<ref name="Ref_2009a">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/8087255.stm |title=S Africa send Scots crashing out |work=BBC Sport |date=7 June 2009 |access-date=23 May 2010}}</ref>

===2010===
In 2010, Scotland took part in the inaugural [[ECB 40]] tournament.

Scotland competed in the qualifiers in the [[United Arab Emirates]], to compete for a place in the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]] in the [[British West Indies|West Indies]]. They competed for a place with [[Afghanistan national cricket team|Afghanistan]], [[Canadian national cricket team|Canada]], [[Ireland national cricket team|Ireland]], [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]], [[Netherlands national cricket team|Holland]], [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|United Arab Emirates]] and [[United States national cricket team|USA]].<ref name="Ref_l">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/405141.html|title=UAE to host expanded World Twenty20 Qualifiers|website=Cricinfo.com|access-date=29 May 2018}}</ref> The tournament was disappointing for Scotland, going out in the group stage without winning a single match.

Scotland's Intercontinental Cup campaign was more successful as they reached the final in December – against Afghanistan – at the bespoke new cricket stadium in Dubai. Scheduled as a four-day first-class match of two innings each side, Afghanistan won the game in eight sessions. This was also the first cricket match of any kind that was live-streamed online – by two Scottish fans, with the agreement of the ICC.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

===ICC World Cup Qualifiers===
During March and April 2009 Scotland attempted to defend the ICC Trophy they won in 2005. To secure qualification for the [[2011 Cricket World Cup]] a top four place was targeted. They were also attempting to secure ODI status by finishing in the top six.

Scotland started the tournament badly by losing three of their five group games. With only the points earned against Namibia being taken through to the Super Eights, Scotland faced a difficult route to the World Cup.<ref name="Ref_2009b">{{Cite journal |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/iccwcq2009/content/series/384067.html?template=schedule |title=ICC World Cup Qualifiers |journal=ESPNcricinfo |year=2009 }} Retrieved on 22 April 2009.</ref>

Scotland started the Super Eights well by beating Holland in their first match. Defeats against Kenya and Afghanistan followed. The result of which threatened Scotland's qualification for the World Cup as well as the possibility of losing their ODI status if they finished out of the top six.

Victory against United Arab Emirates in their last game, and an improved run-rate, thanks to the 122 run victory, ensured a top six place for the Scots, securing ODI status until the next round of World Cup qualifiers.

In 2012, Scotland achieved their first victory against a [[List of International Cricket Council members|full member]] of the [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] when it defeated a [[Bangladeshi cricket team in Ireland and Netherlands in 2012|touring]] [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] side.
