5 Players to watch out for in 2018 Netherlands Tri-Nation Series

#3 Matthew Cross

Scotland v England - ODI

When Calum MacLeod struggled for consistency at the apex of the batting, Cross came in and his stroke-filled style of play allowed MacLeod to settle in and work his magic at the less frenetic position of the one-drop batsman.

Cross is one of the most exciting things about Scotland cricket, and to make a mark in a team that recently has had a host of players putting up performances that demand recognition, it is a tough ask.

In the ODI against England, Cross burst into a flurry of boundaries right from the shot of the pistol, bestowing no mercy upon the usually revered skills of Mark Wood and David Willey. In an innings of belligerence, he smashed 10 fours in a score of a quickfire 48 to put up 103 with Kyle Coetzer in just 13.4 overs. Donning a T20 strike rate of 136, he will take on the opponents with both form and confidence on his side.
