[3] [4] Following the match he made his One Day International (ODI) debut against the same opposition. [5] Four days after the conclusion of this match he played his second against England at Raeburn Place, scoring two runs before he was dismissed by Graeme Swann in an English victory. [5] Within days of this match he played in two List A matches against a touring India A. [2]

In July 2010, he was selected as part of Scotland's fifteen man squad for the 2010 World Cricket League Division One in the Netherlands, [6] playing in six ODI's during the tournament, [5] during which he took a total of 8 wickets at an average of 27.37, with best figures of 4/33. [7] Following the conclusion of the tournament, he featured in three List A matches in English county cricket's 2010 Clydesdale Bank 40, making appearances against Durham, Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. [2] In August 2010, Afghanistan visited Scotland for their Intercontinental Cup, with Parker playing in the first-class fixture, [3] as well as the two ODI's which followed that fixture. [5] These remain his final appearances to date for Scotland in ODI's. Later in the 2010 season, he made four further List A appearances in the Clydesdale Bank 40, [2] Scotland finished second in the 2009–10 ICC Intercontinental Cup, earning them a place in the final of the tournament against Afghanistan at the DSC Cricket Stadium in Dubai, [3] with Afghanistan winning the title with a victory by 7 wickets.
