]Scotland Reveal 15-Player Squad for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026
by K D Mishra
Scotland on Monday revealed its 15-man squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which is scheduled to take place on February 7 and will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The European nation was included in the T20 World Cup after the International Cricket Council decided to replace Bangladesh with the European nation (Scotland), following the refusal of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to send their team to India for the T20 World Cup 2026 due to security reasons.
Scotland will be led by captain Richie Berrington and has already taken part in six out of the nine T20 World Cups (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021, 2022, 2024). Apart from the 15-man squad, Scotland has also named two traveling reserves and three non-traveling reserves for the T20 World Cup 2026,
Snell said that,
"The coaching staff, selectors, and I are all really excited about the squad that has been picked. We feel it's well-balanced and caters for a lot of different scenarios and challenges that the team will face in India,"
"There's obviously a great opportunity for Zainullah Ihsan, and whenever he's played at youth level or for the "A" squad, he's shown an exciting range of skills and bowled at genuine pace. We're delighted for him and excited to see how he performs on his first international tour,"
Snell added that,
"Oli Davidson has worked tirelessly on his skills and shown tremendous desire and work ethic in recent months to improve, and he also thoroughly deserves his call-up. All the players are really excited to take on the best in the world and grasp the opportunity that has been afforded to them. The squad is full of high-quality cricketers ready to perform, and they are keen to make an impact on the big stage,"
ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Scotland squad:
Richie Berrington (captain), Tom Bruce, Matthew Cross, Bradley Currie, Oliver Davidson, Chris Greaves, Zainullah Ihsan, Michael Jones, Michael Leask, Finlay McCreath, Brandon McMullen, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Bradley Wheal.
Travelling reserves: Jasper Davidson, Jack Jarvis.
