Scotland's Qasim Sheikh has launched a scathing attack on his country's cricket coach, Pete Steindl, claiming that he has been cast into the wilderness by the Australian.

The 27-year-old Glasgow-born batsman, now playing in the Staffordshire League, has not represented Scotland since 2010 – despite scoring back-to-back centuries against Ireland and Kenya in the Intercontinental Cup, and two more for Scotland Lions. He told Herald Sport he had "no chance" of a recall while Steindl remained in charge of a team which failed to reach the 2011 World Cup, missed out on reaching the finals of this year's World T20, and which has finished bottom of their group in the CB 40.
