CRICKET

Charlie Peet says Scotland will take their inspiratio­n from the senior side when they launch their U19 World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka tomorrow.

The young Scots, handed a surprise place in the tournament following the withdrawal of New Zealand, are in a daunting group which also includes Australia and hosts West Indies.

But skipper Peet claims his team will be bidding to emulate the achievemen­ts of Kyle Coetzer’s side who qualified from the group stage of a global event for the first time at last year’s T20 World Cup.

Spinner Peet said: “The senior team are a huge inspiratio­n for what they did at the T20 World Cup. “Quite a few of our guys play with and rub shoulders with the first team quite a lot, so to see them put in those sorts of performanc­es against the best teams in the world gives us belief that we can do the same.”

The Scots were initially left heartbroke­n when they lost the final of the qualifying competitio­n to Ireland but New Zealand’s withdrawal due to quarantine issues handed them an eleventh-hour reprieve.

The young Scots won their first warm-up match against Uganda on Monday but last night suffered a heavy seven-wicket defeat against

Ireland in their final warm-up match. Batting first, they stuttered to 138 all out, Tom Mackintosh top-scoring with 26. The Irish then cruised to their target with almost 18 overs to spare despite Ollie Davidson’s 3-27.
