Scots captain set to make history

Wright's side want to improve their international standing

Craig Wright is in line to become the most-capped Scotland international of all time after being named in the squad to face Bangladesh in Chittagong.

The two matches scheduled are Scotland's first official ICC one-day international matches on overseas soil.

And, if he plays in both games to earn his 154th cap, Wright will overtake current record holder Greig Williamson.

Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith says: "It is the start of a tremendous adventure for our cricket."

Captain Wright and his squad fly out from Glasgow to Dhaka on Sunday 10 December, three days before a warm-up match there.

They will travel to Chittagong for the historic first match on Friday 15, with the second match in Dhaka two days later.

"Over the next four months, Scotland's top cricketers will play full international matches in places they've never visited and we will be judged by our performances," said Smith.

Three members of the party have played in Bangladesh before: Dougie Brown, with England, and Ross Lyons and Omer Hussain for Scotland in the 2004 Uner-19 World Cup.

National coach Peter Drinnen added: "The Bangladeshis will certainly want to win both these games after we defeated them in Edinburgh two seasons ago.

"But we will be just as hungry for success, because we want to continue to build our international reputation."
