Scottish cricket again risks being plunged into controversy when the 38-year-old South African all-rounder, Neil Carter, is this morning named in the Scotland squad for next month's series of Intercontinental Cup and World Cricket League matches against Afghanistan.
The Scots have taken advantage of a change in the ICC eligibility regulations to pack their squad with players born in England – albeit with Scottish parents – including Matt Machan, David Murphy and Iain Wardlaw. However, it is the selection of Carter, the Warwickshire professional who officially retired from English county cricket in September, which may cause the biggest upset.
