Kyle Coetzer to captain Scotland in one-day international against England
Saturday 9 June 2018 22:51, UK
Scotland have resisted making many changes to their squad for the one-day international clash with England on Sunday.
Northants all-rounder Tom Sole misses out after suffering a broken ankle playing for his club but their 15-man squad to take on Eoin Morgan's men at The Grange in Edinburgh includes the bulk of the party that travelled to Zimbabwe for the ICC World Cup qualifiers.

Kyle Coetzer will lead the side, which also features the in-form Dylan Budge and former skipper Preston Mommsen.
Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif, Alasdair Evans and Stuart Whittingham are all available in what could be a tricky bowling attack for England to face as they prepare for five 50-over games against Australia.
Head coach Grant Bradburn said: "This has been our toughest squad to select to date, in terms of having so many players knocking on the door with strong performances.
"There has been a lot of cricket so far this season and outdoor training has been intense, so the players themselves have had ample opportunities to sort out the current pecking order.
"It has been our desire to create competition in every skill set and the selections across the two squads will reflect that.
"It has been so encouraging to see new faces earn their place and confirm their readiness for International cricket with repeat performances in Regional Series and 'A' Team cricket."
Scotland squad: Kyle Coetzer (capt), Richie Berrington (vc), Dylan Budge, Matthew Cross, Alasdair Evans, Michael Jones, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Preston Mommsen, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal, Stuart Whittingham.
