Cricket Scotland quoted McLeod in a statement as saying, “While announcing my retirement a few days ago I was wondering what first inspired me and that would be Scotland vs Australia match in the 1999 World Cup. That’s what I wanted to do and it gave me a different vibe and inspired me to play for Scotland. Now that I have played in five World Cups, I think if you had told me long ago what I would have achieved with my country, I would not have believed you.
McLeod’s career-best innings of 140 runs, which he played against England. Thanks to this innings of his in 2018, Scotland defeated England by six runs in ODIs. Apart from this, he scored 175 runs against Canada in 2014, which is his best score in ODIs.

Remarking on Calum’s profession, Scotland Men’s Lead trainer Shane Burger said “I’m Staggeringly miserable to see his vocation end especially in the design it did with us retiring from the World Cup in the principal round as it could not have possibly been the means by which Calum would have needed.
