Lyons brought in to tame Kenyans

Scotland spinner Ross Lyons
Lyons will get the chance to impress at Ayr

Scotland's selectors have recalled spinner Ross Lyons for this week's two ODIs with Kenya at Ayr.

It comes after his impressive recent showings in Intercontinental Cup action against Canada and Bermuda.

Craig Wright and Calum MacLeod return after injury while Majid Haq drops out to accommodate an extra seamer.

"Ross has earned his shot after doing so well when we were away and it's good to have the option of him spinning the ball away," said coach Pete Steindl.

"We thought it was a good idea to take an extra seamer which is why Calum and Craig both come in, and Majid misses out."

Scotland squad: Watson (capt.), Hamilton, Sheikh, C Smith, Watts, McCallum, Berrington, Blain, Nel, MacLeod, Drummond, Lyons, Wright.
