Scotland fast bowler Charlie Cassell has smashed the record for the greatest figures on ODI debut by taking 7 for 21 in 5.4 overs against Oman in the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup League 2 match in Dundee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The record was detained by South Africa\u2019s Kagiso Rabada, who had taken 6 for 16 on his ODI debut against Bangladesh in July 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cassell was added to the Scotland squad for the matches contrary to Oman on July 15, as a replacement for fast bowler Chris Sole who was unavailable for personal reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve come back from a enormous setback, with that massive injury you had, put you out for a year and a bit,\u201d Scotland captain Richie Berrington said when presenting Cassell with his cap before the game beside Oman. \u201cJust 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cassell made a extraordinary start to his international career, trapping Zeeshan Maqsood lbw and bowling Ayaan Khan with the first two balls he bowled against Oman. He lost a hat-trick but then had Khalid Kail caught off his fourth delivery, and when he had Shoaib Khan caught in his second over, Cassell had astonishing figures of 1.3-1-0-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mehran Khan turn out to be Cassell\u2019s fifth wicket. He then dismissed Pratik Athavale to join Rabada and West Indies\u2019 Fidel Edwards as the only bowlers with six wickets on ODI debut, before ending Oman\u2019s innings by having Bilal Khan wedged behind to pick up a record seventh in his maiden international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cassell\u2019s 7 for 21 helped Scotland let go Oman for 91 in 21.4 overs, a target they chased down with eight wickets in hand and 196 balls remaining.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
