Profile
A cagey left-arm spinner who prefers to operate from a flatter trajectory, Mark Watt is more of a defensive option than a genuine wicket-taking bowler. He loves to fire them in, and cramp the batsmen for room and length, thereby inducing mishits. Watt played a crucial part in Scotland's biggest cricketing moment till date, an ODI win over the top ranked England side in 2018 in a high-scoring game. He is also a handy lower-order batsman but it's as a pure bowler that he is picked in the playing XI. Watt has had County stints with Derbyshire and Lancashire. He has played a handful of First-class games but his bowling for now is best suited for white-ball cricket, particularly T20 cricket where the need for batsmen to attack him from the outset actually plays into his hands.
