Scotland finished runner-up at last week’s qualifier in Abu Dhabi to reach their first ever ICC global event.
Scotland seamer Rachel Slater believes her side’s historic T20 World Cup qualification is only “scratching the surface” of what the country could achieve.
Captain Kathryn Bryce was named player of the tournament, while Slater finished as top wicket-taker with 11 scalps. “Every one of us knew this was possible. We know we are good enough, so it was just about going out and doing it against Ireland in what was probably the biggest pressure game of our lives,” she told the PA news agency.
“We try to be the best we can be but I think we’re just scratching the surface of what we can do. We’ve seen in England what giving girls access to full-time professional cricket can do. Hopefully that will come and this is something that can kickstart the process – more girls getting into cricket, more resources, more opportunities, more women’s clubs.
