Yorkshire seamer Iain Wardlaw has today been announced in the Scotland squad ahead of their tour to the UAE, commencing later this month, where they will take on Afghanistan in all three formats of the game.

The Scotland team will play two T20 fixtures, two World Cricket League fixtures and a four-day Intercontinental Cup tie, meaning there will be plenty to play for. The tour will commence with three warm up fixtures against the Emirates Cricket Board Blues.
