Big-hitting Oli Hairs has been drafted into the Scotland squad as an injury replacement for Andy Umeed.
Hairs, 32, will join the camp in Dubai for the remaining two matches of the current WCL2 series against Canada and UAE.
The left-hander has made just five ODI appearances but boasts 20 T20I caps, having smashed a career-best 127no against Italy in the short format last summer. He had already been named in the squad for the T20 series against UAE that follows the WCL2 matches.
Unlucky Umeed heads home after breaking a finger in last week’s defeat to Canada – his first international appearance for seven years.
Meanwhile, Forthill has been confirmed as the venue for the Saltires’ home WCL2 series against Namibia and Oman in May.
The historic Broughty Ferry venue was first used by Scotland in 1913 for a match against Northants.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
