Scotland will play their first official one-day international matches on foreign soil when they travel to Bangladesh next month.

The eight-day trip, departing from Glasgow on December 10, will feature one warm-up game before the two ODIs, in Chittagong on December 15 and Dhaka two days later.

If Scotland captain Craig Wright plays in both games he will overtake Greig Williamson as Scotland's most capped player of all time with 154 caps.
Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith said: "This is the start of a tremendous adventure for Scottish cricket. Over the next four months, Scotland's top cricketers will play full international matches in places they've never visited, and we will be judged by our performances. Bangladesh is just the beginning."

Several of the squad have played in Bangladesh before; Dougie Brown with England and Ross Lyons and Omer Hussain, for Scotland in the 2004 U19 World Cup.

Scotland have played only eight official ODIs - five of them in the 1999 World Cup, and national coach Peter Drinnen added: "The Bangladeshis will certainly want to win both these games, after we defeated them in Edinburgh two seasons ago. But we will be just as hungry for success, because we want to continue to build our international reputation."

Squad Craig Wright (capt), John Blain, Dougie Brown, Gavin Hamilton, Majid Haq, Paul Hoffmann, Omer Hussain, Dougie Lockhart, Ross Lyons, Neil McCallum, Dewald Nel, Navdeep Poonia, Colin Smith (wkt), Ryan Watson, Fraser Watts.

Hamilton is back with Scotland team. Is he still that good?

[tglover]

Not as good as back then but he can still bat well. Watson is the one to look out for, he made 80 against Pakistan!

Oh no. Abar whitewash dream. Scotland er kase harle tho kobor ase.

[Mahir]

doesnt the scottish side always seem a bit arrogant ? Is it because they play alongside the county teams of England often, resulting in them thinking that they are at par with those county sides ?

We will burn them in the heat of spin.Would love to see the havoc.Waiting eagerly for it.

[mshakir56]

Don't know much about the Scottish team, but their press announcements are really arrogant. Once I read a comment by their coach" teams like bangladesh, kenya, and zimbabwe will be no match for us". Something like that. Don't quite recall that. After hearing something like that, one would guess that they are pretty good!! But are they really????????

[Rabz]

Scots who?

[Sam]

Scotland are a decent Team. But we have to prove that we are quite different Team than they met two season earlier. Convincing and easy wins will prove it only. So, Tigers, show that you know the business.

[SS]

Scottish, British all are arrogant, nothing new
but instead of openning our mouth, we should just play good
But it will be a competitive cricket
and we really have to do well. Hope oour cricketers remember the defeat.
