The International Cricket Council (ICC) disqualified Bangladesh from the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup in India after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to send its team due to security concerns. Following this, the European team Scotland was given a place in the tournament. The Scottish team announced its 15-member squad on Monday. The World Cup will begin on February 7, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Scotland has previously participated in six of the nine T20 World Cups (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021, 2022, 2024). This time, the team will be captained by Richie Berrington.
Scotland Squad and Reserves
In addition to the 15 players announced, Scotland has also selected two 'travelling reserves' and three 'non-travelling reserves'. The team has been placed in Group C, where they will compete against England, Italy, Nepal, and the West Indies. Scotland's first match will be against the West Indies at Eden Gardens on February 7.
Coaching Staff Statement
Cricket Scotland's Head of Performance, Steve Snell, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the team selection. He said, "The coaching staff, selectors, and I are all incredibly excited about the squad selected. It's a balanced squad and well-equipped for the conditions and challenges we will face in India."
Regarding the selection of Zainullah Ehsan, he said, "Whenever he has played for the junior or A squad, he has shown great pace and a diverse skill set. We are delighted with his selection." Speaking about Ollie Davidson's hard work, Snell said, "He has worked incredibly hard on his skills and thoroughly deserves this selection. The entire squad is ready to take on the best teams in the world." Scotland Squad (T20 World Cup 2026)
