It seems like Scotland have entered the T20 World Cup qualification in UAE having a huge positive mindset. Heading into the T20 World Cup, Scotland have not only been praised for their worthy effort on the field but also for their newly designed purple-shaded jersey.
Notably, this kit of Scotland has been designed by a 12-year-old girl named - Rebecca Downie. The design has been selected from over 200 entries from different schools within Scotland and is based on the colours of Scotland’s national emblem.
Rebecca Downie presented the kit in front of the team players before they left for Oman to participate in the Qualifiers. The 12-years-old along with her family were called as special guests against Zimbabwe, where she met all the concerned players of Scotland.
