England's limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan has promised to take nothing for granted when his side begin their white-ball season away to Scotland on Sunday.
Morgan's men continue their build-up to next year's World Cup, which will be on home soil, with a one-day international against the Scots in Edinburgh on Sunday. Scotland won't be at the showpiece tournament after agonisingly missing out in this year's World Cup qualifiers. But the non-Test nation have shown they had the potential to embarrass the sport's elite and Morgan was in respectful mood ahead of England's first match against Scotland in three years. "It should be a really good game," Morgan, whose England side are top of the ODI rankings, told reporters in Edinburgh on Saturday.
"We haven't played Scotland for quite a while.
"We watched them play in the qualifying tournament for the 50-over World Cup next year, which was an extremely competitive tournament and I don't think there was a lot between the teams, so qualifying was difficult.
"It gives Scotland a lot more exposure and the days of not knowing who you are going to play against are gone. They are an extremely competitive side and we are looking forward to it," he added.
After the Scotland match, England are at home to world champions Australia in a five-match one-day series.
