Scotland ready for ‘cut-throat’ T20 World Cup qualifier

The recalled Currie says Scotland must hit the ground running if they are to meet expectations and qualify.

“It’s a pretty cut-throat tournament, only being four games, one opportunity against each team and the amount of games you have to win,” he said.

“The guys played a lot of good cricket at home and I think that’s created a lot of good rhythm. So, yeah, hopefully we bring it into this tournament and we can get on the ball straight away.”

The Sussex seamer insists Scotland’s self-belief and experience will help them perform to the best of their abilities across the four matches.

“I always like to say that we’re dictating the game, bringing our own strengths to the game,” he said.

“Then it doesn’t really matter who the opposition is or what their strengths are. You know, we dictate the game. And there’s so many players in the squad that have been through this whole process before.

“When it really matters, the guys show up and actually it brings out the best in a lot of our players.

“I think these tournaments, when there’s something on the line, it really brings the best out of us as a team.”
