Interview with Brad Wheal!

Yeah, I mean, I’ve obviously been lucky enough to come out here on some pre-season tours with Hampshire. And it’s a beautiful place to play. I mean, Barbados is one of my favourite places on Earth. The culture, the food, everything about it, it’s just incredible. People love their cricket here. All the locals you speak to just love cricket, and they want to learn about what’s going on and get involved as much as they can.

So, it’s quite refreshing to come here and see the love and the passion for the game. And hopefully we can put on a pretty good show for them.

And this is your third T20 World Cup in a pretty short space of time. I mean, what does it mean to you to get these opportunities in international cricket, to be here at the, I don’t know, the only show in town at the minute really in cricket is this tournament and you’re here wearing the shirt.

Yeah, I mean, it’s amazing. Every opportunity to put the Scotland shirt on is an incredible one and one that I’ll cherish forever. So, you’ve just got to enjoy the moments that you’re living in. It was one thing we said yesterday in the game. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the atmosphere, the pressure, the crowds. Live in those moments and obviously World Cups provide us those opportunities.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had a huge amount of opportunity to play against some full-strength teams over the last few years. But these T20 World Cups and the 50-over World Cups definitely give us the opportunity to show people what we can do and hopefully gain the respect of some other big nations that we can compete and win against them and potentially give us some more opportunity to play against them.
