Charlie Cassell, a fast bowler from Scotland, achieved the record for greatest figures on an ODI debut against Oman in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 match in Dundee, taking 7 for 21 in 5.4 overs.Fast bowler Chris Sole was substituted by Cassell into the Scotland team for the July 15 matches against Oman due to his unavailability due to personal matters.
Beginning his international career with two deliveries in his opening bowling match against Oman, Cassell bowled Ayaan Khan and trapped Zeeshan Maqsood leg before wicket. In his fourth delivery, he had Khalid Kail caught, and after missing a hat-trick, Cassell’s stats were astounding when he had Shoaib Khan caught in his second over.
The fifth wicket for Cassell was Mehran Khan. After that, he got rid of Pratik Athavale to become the only bowler, along with Rabada and Fidel Edwards of the West Indies, to have six wickets on their ODI debut. He then ended Oman’s innings by having Bilal Khan caught behind, earning a record seventh in his debut international.
