Cricket: Saltires call up Josh Davey for season openers
Calvin Burnett drops out but Heriot's wicketkeeper Simon Smith has been included in the squad as is Ewan Chalmers who hit his maiden century for his country against the MCC this week. Captain Gordon Drummond will also be able to call on Tasmanian Luke Butterworth who impressed with bat and ball against the MCC and is expected to make his CB40 debut.
Following the fixture against Durham, the Scots head to Grace Road for what will be their second televised fixture against Leicestershire in as many seasons. With victories both home and away against the Foxes in the 2010 CB40 campaign the Saltires will be looking to build on that record.
