Scots' captain Wright flies home

Scotland captain Craig Wright has flown home from the World Cup following a family bereavement.

He hopes to return in time for their final group game against Holland, with batsman Ryan Watson taking over as captain against South Africa.

Wright led Scotland to victory at the 2004 Intercontinental Cup and 2005 ICC Trophy and to the final of the ICC World League in Kenya last month.

His absence could give Dewald Nel a chance to make his World Cup debut.
