Alasdair Evans
Scotland Cricket Team: Scotland’s 35-year-old bowler Alasdair Evans has announced his retirement from international cricket. He made his debut for Scotland in 2009 and now with his retirement in 2024, his 15-year career has come to an end.

I never thought I would become an international cricketer: Alasdair Evans
Alasdair Evans said that I remember when I made my debut against Canada at Aberdeen Ground, one night I got a call from head coach Pete Steindel. He asked me to join the team as cover. There were a lot of injured players in the squad at that time. I never thought that I would grow up to become an international cricketer. So when the first call came, I thought it was a joke.
He said that it is a privilege to be part of such a great team that has helped grow the game in Scotland, to a level where going to the World Cup is the norm. To see the team now winning games makes me proud. I am honoured to have been part of the team for so many years.
Said thank you to the coach and fellow players
He said that I have been very fortunate to work with some wonderful people during my journey, including teammates, coaches and staff, without whose support I would not have lived the most wonderful fifteen years. I would like to thank each and every one of them for the time and energy they have devoted not only to Scottish cricket, but also to helping support me. I had the opportunity to create many memories.
Evans will be missed: coach Doug Watson
Scotland head coach Doug Watson said Lasdair Evans is a fantastic guy. He is a great example for emerging Scottish bowlers. He has served Scotland with distinction during his outstanding career. He will be missed in the changing room.
