Clark McConnachie is the captain of Scotland O60s.

In this episode we talk to Clark about what's going on domestically as well as internationally for Scotland senior cricketers.

Clark explains how for many years Scotland Over 60s and 70s have been under the banner of the Scotland Forty Club District but that all changed in the autumn when Scotland Seniors was set up to cover the current range of international age groups for Seniors Cricket: Over 40s, Over 50s, Over 60s and Over 70s.

Clark explains how Scotland are currently preparing their application to be part of the International Masters Cricket organisation which if successful would then enable them to enter competitions such as the 2026 Over 60s World Cup in Canada.

Clark also talks about the O60s international matches that Scotland have played in the last couple of years particularly the tri-nations tournament which involved England, England Lions and Wales. Some of the players including Clark did get international level experience by being part of the Rest of the World team at the 2024 O60s World Cup in Chennai.

Being part of the O60s England and Wales County championship is something on the future radar and this season Scotland O60s will be playing friendlies against the northern based England counties on a mini tour at the start of the season.
