Chris selected for Scotland Men
Congratulations to past junior and player Chris (McBride nbr 3) who has been selected for Scotland Men for the ICC League series against the UAE and the Netherlands, starting on Sunday in Holland.

"It’s also great to see Chris McBride back in the squad. He’s had a challenging year with not being involved at the international level, and put in some excellent domestic performances in 2024, and over the winter has spent time in South Africa working really hard on his game."
