Toby Bailey said:
“I would like to thank Cricket Scotland for developing my career as a coach and especially for supporting me through my ECB Level 4 and MSc Performance Psychology qualifications. I have made some great friends over the years in the Scottish cricket community and look forward to continuing those relationships in the future.
“I have fond memories of working with players throughout the male and female programs, from overseeing the women play their first T20i at The Grange, setting up the National Performance Academy and being part of the coaching staff on the historic day when the men’s team beat England. I wish the organisation all the very best for the future and will always keep a close eye on the progress of all the teams.”
