Scotland speedy-bowler Charlie Cassell broke the all-time ODI record for exceptional figures on a debut by taking 7 wickets for 21 runs in 5.4 overs against Oman within the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 match in Dundee.
The record was formerly held through South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada for 9 years for his 6/16 in opposition to Bangladesh in Mirpur in 2015. Now, third on the list and the most effective other bowler with 6 wickets on ODI debut is West Indies’ Fidel Edwards with 6/22 towards Zimbabwe in Harare in November 2003.
Cassell got a lucky call as much as the Scotland squad for the collection on July 15 after pacer Chris Sole became unavailable due to personal reasons. He was given his debut cap from skipper Richie Berrington earlier than the Oman game. Berrington stated while offering him along with his cap:
“You’ve come back from a huge setback, with that massive injury you had, put you out for a year and a bit. Just to see your resilience coming back, getting back on the park, and just love watching what you do at Forfs [Forfashire], and just the way how you hold yourself is incredible.”
Cassell failed to waste a moment to impact the sport, taking wickets off his first two balls – Zeeshan Maqsood was trapped lbw and Ayaan Khan was bowled. He could not get a hat-trick however Khalid Kail became stuck off his 4th ball.
The pacer disregarded Shoaib Khan in his 2nd over with Pratik Athavale, Mehran Khan and Bilal Khan to observe, all 4 of them getting out caught. Unable to manipulate the relentless attack, Oman have been bowled out for 91 in 21.4 overs.
Charlie Cassell grew up in Australia. Cassell was born to a Scottish mother and an English father. He spent a number of his early years in Australia before transferring to Scotland, his us of a of start, lately. He informed Cricket Scotland in June:
“I was born in Aberdeen in 1998 and lived in the UK until around 2005 when the family moved across to Perth in Western Australia. I went to a school called Guildford Grammar and played my club cricket at Guildford Midland from age group teams up until first grade. “In 2018, I moved over to Sydney and I played for Sydney University Cricket Club. That has been my club back home ever since, while my first season in Scotland was a couple of years ago with Falkland.”
