Scotland YB40 preview.

Lancashire have named a 14-man squad for the visit of the Scottish Saltires:

Tom Smith will be keen to make progress after his
return from injury.

Lancashire Lightning squad: Glen Chapple (captain), Karl Brown, Jordan Clark, Steven Croft, Gareth Cross, Kabir Ali, Simon Katich, Simon Kerrigan, Stephen Moore, Stephen Parry, Ashwell Prince, Luke Procter, Tom Smith, Wayne White.

Scottish Saltires squad: Preston Mommsen (captain), Richie Berrington, Calvin Burnett, Neil Carter, Freddie Coleman, Matthew Cross, Gordon Goudie, Majid Haq, Moneeb Iqbal, Tom Latham, Michael Leask, Calum Macleod, Ruaidhri Smith.

After the incredible trip to Essex, Lancashire's confidence is at an incredibly high level and this will bode well for them today in a must-win game against Scotland.

The Saltires currently sit bottom of Group B, having played six matches and lost all of them.

With that in mind, Lancashire's chances for qualification will surely be enhanced by the fact that they have to play Scotland twice, when other sides, perhaps, have tougher matches to play.

If Lancashire win today and other results go their way, then they will go top of their group, putting added importance on this fixture to go the right way for the home side. However, in their last three visits to Lancashire, Scotland have won every time, making the result inconclusive.
