[edit]

As such he was selected in Scotland's CB40 squad and got off to a good start with two 50's and an average of 62.2 after the first 7 games of the season.[3] Mommsen went on to finish the season with 408 runs at an average of 58.28 in the competition. As a result of his form, Scotland offered a full-time contract for the following year and he spent time at both Kent and Northamptonshire who were interested in signing him.[9]

[edit]

Having signed a full-time contract with Scotland, Mommsen has been included in their winter tours of Namibia and India, where in the latter Scotland start their campaign to qualify for the 2012 World Twenty20. He marked the occasion with his first international hundred scoring 102 off 192 balls in the first 4-day game against Namibia in Windhoek.

2013 Season

[edit]

In June 2013, Mommsen has been named as captain of a youthful Scotland squad to take on Australia A in a first-class four-day fixture in Edinburgh.

Cricket Scotland named him replacement to Scotland Captain Kyle Coetzer took over at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.

Mommsen was ruled out of Scotland's 2013 World T20 qualifying campaign in a blow to their chances of winning a place in Bangladesh in March 2014. He had a pelvis injury and wasn't able to join his squad for the qualifiers in the UAE.

ICC World Cup Qualifiers

[edit]

Mommsen went on to guide the innings at No.4, reaching a maiden List A ton as Hong Kong managed to hold on to a 17-run victory over Scotland at Queenstown Events Centre bringing a losing start for Scotland's World Cup Qualifiers.

Mommsen's ninth List-A fifty set up Scotland's 52-run win. Mommsen struck 94, and put up stands of 65 and 86 for the third and fourth wickets with Matty Cross and Freddie Coleman respectively as the team eventually piled on 288 for 9 from their 50 overs against Papua New Guinea at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln, New Zealand.

He was stand-in captain against Kenya match where Mommsen took his time getting set striking only one four on his way to a half-century off 81 balls as Scotland clinched their third World Cup berth in dramatic fashion with a tense three-wicket win over Kenya with three balls to spare at Hagley Oval.

Mommsen led Scotland into Group A for the World Cup as his second century of the tournament secured an emphatic 41-run win over UAE in the final of the qualifiers.
