Could Scotland victories allow them to pass the Test?

-

FANTASTIC stuff from Scotland’s men’s cricket team, who topped their group to reach the Super 12s at the T20 World Cup.

The Purple Lids went unbeaten against hosts Oman, minnows Papua New Guinea and Test nation Bangladesh.

They’ve now earned the right to take on some of cricket’s powerhouse sides like India, Pakistan and New Zealand. The team played some terrific stuff and captain Kyle Coetzer demonstrat­ed tremendous game management.

With a recent one-day victory over England still a warm glow, there is something special building.

Now we’ve got the shorter forms of the game sorted, how long before we follow Ireland and become a Test nation?
