Saltires stick with same CB40 squad

SALTIRES selectors last night named the same squad for the fourth CB40 match on the trot.

Both Derbyshire’s Ali Evans and Josh Davey of Middlesex have again been released by their counties to take part in the clash with Hampshire at Uddingston on Sunday

However, while the side is settled, coach Pete Steindl knows his players are short of top-flight action following last week’s washout against Glamorgan, also at Uddingston.

Steindl said: “It is good to have continuity in personnel but it would be even better if our guys were getting more play.

“In addition to last week’s abandoned game, neither of the matches the previous week went the distance. We are desperate for the weather to relent and give us a chance to get a full game in.”

The Saltires are looking for their first-ever win against Hampshire.

Saltires: G Drummond capt, C MacLeod, J Davey, R Flannigan, J Symes, R Berrington, P Mommsen, C Wallace, M Haq, M Parker, A Evans, F Watts, M Iqbal.

Hampshire: J Adams capt, J Vince, M Carberry, S Katich, S Ervine, L Dawson, A Mascarenhas, M Bates, C Wood, K Ali, D Briggs, D Griffiths, H Riazuddin.
