After Scotland’s phenomenal show to beat England in an ODI match on Sunday, a lot of praises started rising for them from the cricketing fraternity and one such praise came from the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. The Master Blaster believes Scotland, among others, deserve more international games with the experienced teams to provide the required exposure at this stage.

Tendulkar’s advice comes on the day when Scotland defeated England by 6 runs while scoring their highest ODI score and forcing their neighbors into trying and chase down the second biggest total in the history of ODI cricket. It also comes as a strong rebuttal of ICC’s stance on restricting the World Cup to just 10 teams. Scotland had narrowly missed out on qualifying for next year’s World Cup.

Sachin Tendulkar argued, in a Twitter post, that Scotland’s victory – their first against England – demonstrates that they have the ability to compete at the highest level if given the chance.

Cricket has all the ingredients to become a global game. Teams with massive potential like, Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland along with many others have to be given more opportunities to play against the more experienced teams. Best way to provide great exposure. #SCOvENG

Tendulkar’s tweet read: “Cricket has all the ingredients to become a global game,” said Tendulkar. “Teams with massive potential like Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland along with many others have to be given more opportunities to play against the more experienced teams. Best way to provide great exposure.”

Last year, Ireland and Afghanistan were given the tag of the Test playing nation. While playing their first Test match at home against Pakistan, Ireland has a tough competition to their opponents and looked to be on the cusp of picking up a staggering win until the middle-order composed itself to pick up the win. Last week, Afghanistan inflicted a 3-0 clean sweep on Bangladesh in T20Is in Dehradun.

The defeat will be a  huge blow for the English squad who will lock horns with Australia in limited over matches, at home, starting Wednesday. Meanwhile, Scotland shift focus to facing Pakistan in two T20Is on Tuesday and Wednesday.
