Experienced seamers Ali Evans and Gavin Maine missed the last 15, while high-class batsman Oliver Heyers is also notably absent.

Scotland team at Berrington to provide most of their runs:-

The improving Scotland side will rely heavily on Berrington to provide most of their runs, while the experienced duo Henry Munsey and Callum McLeod are also capable of scoring well.

Berrington’s experience at Scotland’s top-order will be valuable, with the 35-year-old hitting two half-centuries and contributing to the team’s best of 177 runs during last year’s event.

The right-handed batsman will need to be at his best again this year if Scotland is to progress to the Super 12 stage.
