PATRICK BARBOUR, age 25, led Fulton’s Flyers to the Scottish

                                                                     1
Championships in 2016, securing a place in these World Championships.
Acutely aware of the game situation as it develops over-by-over, he
opens the batting and breaks partnerships with his slow turners. This
year, he completed a round-the-world solo adventure in three months.
ARUN KRISHNA, also 25, born in India, has just qualified as a doctor. He is

                                                                     5
a world traveller - and a reliable LMS all-rounder. A regular member of
the Clydesdale Cricket Club 1st XI this past season, in one LMS game in
2016, he recorded a personal ton (after the rest of the team had
collapsed)! His performances are positively surgical…
ANDREW SCOBIE, 26, is an accountant, a sporting all-rounder - a reliable

                                                                     3
hockey goal-keeper and last season’s first-choice wicket-keeper for
Clydesdale’s 1st XI. A hard-hitting orthodox batsman and, when not
keeping, an outstanding fielder who holds - nearly - all his catches.
Occasionally, he likes to show he can bowl a bit as well.
SHERYAR AWAN, 22, has just qualified in accountancy at the University

                                                                    13
of Aberdeen, with an imaginative approach to life and this particular
Championship. A regular Clydesdale 2nd XI opener, he is an inventive
batsman with attitude, ideally suited to the wacky LMS rules, and a useful
medium-paced bowler.
CALUM DRUMMOND, 21, was born in South Africa with a British

                                                                     8
passport, and a Scottish father who is a keen follower of cricket. A
Clydesdale regular in his second-year at Loughborough, Calum made his
debut in the university’s first-team squad in 2016, contributing with ball
and bat, and has racked up 10 LMS appearances in two years.
BILLY PIRZADA, 25, a cheerful chappie, full of enthusiasm, a late
developer, but ambitious for success. A fast bowler, not always on target,

                                                                    14
and a deceptively practical batsman with plenty of power, he took two
magnificent running catches in the LMS demo game in Glasgow in April -
including that of Herschelle Gibbs!
Clydesdale Cricket Club Western Province Cricket Club
GORDON MUNRO, 30, has been an estate agent with a top Glasgow firm,

                                                                     15
but is currently taking a sabbatical. An international Scotland hockey
prospect in his teens/early 20s, he returned to cricket through LMS in
2016. An enterprising if unorthodox batsman and an athletic fielder who
should never be underestimated.
KASIM FARID, 31, was the first Scottish-born Asian to captain Scotland at
any level, when he led the team that played in the U19 World Cup in 2004.

                                                                     00
A dogged batsman and scheming off-spinner, he still plays regularly for
Clydesdale’s 1st XI - so did his two older brothers, while 15-year-old
Arman is also keen on the game.
OWAIN TAYLOR, 18, has just returned from a post-school three-month
solo trip to the USA. For Clydesdale, he plays regularly in the 2nd XI, and is
a lively all-rounder, great runner between the wickets, and fantastic
fielder. His cheerful character keeps us all happy, and he’s an awesome
quizzer, whether general knowledge or sport.
