Tom Bruce Commits to Scotland Ahead of Canada World Cup League 2 Series

Bruce’s selection adds firepower to a Scottish side reshaped by several absences ahead of its late-August series in Canada.

Overview

Bruce, who earned 17 T20I caps for New Zealand between 2017 and 2020, formalized his allegiance switch in an announcement by Cricket Scotland on August 12.
He qualifies under ICC rules through his Edinburgh-born father and previously represented Scotland’s development side in 2016.
The 34-year-old arrives on the back of captaining Central Districts to the 2024–25 Super Smash title and posting heavy run tallies across all formats.
Scotland’s four-match series in King City (August 29–September 6) sees seamer Josh Davey return but misses regulars such as Michael Jones, Brad Wheal, Scott Currie and Michael English.
Sitting near the top of the eight-team League 2 table, Scotland views Bruce’s debut as both a short-term boost and a long-term asset in its ODI World Cup qualification campaign.
