After clinching both the ODI and T20I series in Ireland, the New Zealand cricket team will take on hosts Scotland in a short white-ball series featuring two T20Is and a one-off ODI starting from Wednesday, July 27.
Led by Mitchell Santner, New Zealand will be high on confidence after they whitewashed Ireland 3-0 in the three-match T20I series. Earlier, the Kiwis thrashed the Irish side 3-0 in the three-match ODI series under captain Tom Latham.
However as far as the Scotland tour is concerned, New Zealand will continue to miss the services of some of their star players including captain Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, who are expected to return for the white-ball series in the Caribbean in August.
On the other hand, former Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer announced his retirement from the T20I format but will be available for the one-off ODI against the Black Caps.
Under captain Richie Berrington, the Scotland cricket team will look to put up a strong fight against an in-form New Zealand side.
Craig Wallace, Michael Jones and Ollie Hairs are some of the notable inclusions in Scotland’s 18-man squad for the short limited-overs series.
All matches of Scotland vs New Zealand white-ball series will be played at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.
