A seaming allrounder, Richie Berrington was born in Pretoria but moved to Scotland as a child.

He had his first taste of playing for Scotland when he was chosen in the Under-15 national team and his talent earned him a place in the ICC’s European Cricket Academy as an 18 year old.

Appearances for Scotland’s Under-19 team followed, including a berth in the 2006 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. 

Berrington’s national debut came in 2008 when he hit the winning runs to get Scotland home over Ireland.

In a good show of form leading into the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, Berrington scored an unbeaten century against Ireland in September 2014.
