Scotland have named their squad for the upcoming T20I World Cup 2026, scheduled to begin on February 7. Following Bangladesh's withdrawal, the ICC replaced Bangladesh with Scotland, who were the highest-ranked team outside the originally qualified nations and were subsequently invited to take part in the global event. 

Meanwhile, Bangladesh had refused to travel to India, citing security concerns, and had asked the ICC to shift their matches out of India, but the ICC declined their request. Notably, the European side had also featured in the inaugural edition of the tournament, back in 2007. 

They are in Group C, alongside England, West Indies, Nepal and tournament debutants Italy. Richie Berrington will lead the side. Meanwhile, Zainullah Ihsan has received a maiden call-up, with the Afghan-born fast bowler having recently qualified to play for Scotland.

Scotland Squad: Richie Berrington (c), 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, Non-travelling reserves: Mackenzie Jones, Chris McBride, Charlie Tear
