Preston Luke Mommsen (born 14 October 1987) is a South African-born Scottish cricketer and former captain in international limited over formats. Having represented South Africa at under 19 level he played his first game for Scotland in a first class match against the Netherlands on 10 June 2010. [3]
On 21 November 2016,Mommsen announced his retirement from professional cricket to take up an "attractive opportunity in the corporate world", [4] but returned to the Scotland squad in June 2017. [5]
Mommsen attended Hilton College in KwaZulu-Natal. Here he was not only a member of the 1st XI cricket team but also of the 1st XV rugby team and went on to represent South Africa School Boys for both sports. In 2006 Preston went on a cricket and rugby scholarship to Gordonstoun School in Moray,Scotland for the summer and winter terms. During this time he became the first school boy to score 1000 runs in that season. [6] It was while he was at Gordonstoun that he got the chance to play for Kent 2nds.
Mommsen had a brief spell at Kent but only managed to make two appearances for the county's 2nd team. After leaving Gordonstoun (attended by HRH Prince Charles,Zara Phillips &Peter Phillips),Preston moved permanently to Scotland,living in Edinburgh. It was here that he started playing for Heriot’s CC,then Carlton,and now makes the odd appearance for Grange CC. [7] After four years living in Edinburgh he qualified for the Scottish National Team and was subsequently called up in June 2010 after impressing at club level. [8]
The 2011 Season is the first full season Mommsen has been eligible for Scotland. As such he was selected in Scotland's CB40 squad and got off to a good start with two 50's and an average of 62.2 after the first 7 games of the season. [3] Mommsen went on to finish the season with 408 runs at an average of 58.28 in the competition. As a result of his form,Scotland offered a full-time contract for the following year and he spent time at both Kent and Northamptonshire who were interested in signing him. [9]

Mommsen went on to guide the innings at No.4,reaching a maiden List A ton as Hong Kong managed to hold on to a 17-run victory over Scotland at Queenstown Events Centre bringing a losing start for Scotland's World Cup Qualifiers.
Mommsen's ninth List-A fifty set up Scotland's 52-run win. Mommsen struck 94,and put up stands of 65 and 86 for the third and fourth wickets with Matty Cross and Freddie Coleman respectively as the team eventually piled on 288 for 9 from their 50 overs against Papua New Guinea at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln,New Zealand.
He was stand-in captain against Kenya match where Mommsen took his time getting set striking only one four on his way to a half-century off 81 balls as Scotland clinched their third World Cup berth in dramatic fashion with a tense three-wicket win over Kenya with three balls to spare at Hagley Oval.
