It has been six long years since England last agreed to face their fellow Britons.
Scotland vice-captain Matthew Cross hopes his side’s T20 World Cup date with England leads to more matches between the nations and is “waiting for the invitation to Lord’s”.
There has been no offer of repeat in the intervening period, during which the England and Wales Cricket Board has found time in its schedule for two Tests, seven ODIs and a T20 against Ireland.Thrown together at last in Barbados, where both sides will kick off their Group B campaign on Tuesday, Cross said it felt “incredible” that they had never before met in the 20-over format and used the occasion to lobby for more chances.
“We’ve got great memories from the last time we played them so to get to play them at a World Cup is pretty special. I’m waiting for the invitation to Lord’s to go and play them. He looks back on that time with fondness and insists there is no reason lightning cannot strike twice.“The sun was out in Scotland, there was a full house and the most pleasing thing for me is England played a really good game of cricket as well.“I think that sometimes gets lost because we won but I think they were exceptional on the day. We were just a little bit better.
