Their historical first ODI win over England last Sunday is testament to their progress as a country in world cricket,&quot; Streak said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Scotland, who are ranked 12th in the T20I Team Rankings, are looking to use the tri-nation series as the first step of their preparation to qualify for the ICC World T20 2020, to be held in Australia. &quot;Grant Bradburn, the head coach of Scotland, asked me if I could share my T20 experience with them as a consultant to help the team as well as the coaches to evolve in that format and I was happy to share my knowledge and experience with them,&quot; Streak added.<\/p>\r\n",
