Scotland on Monday announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, set to begin on February 7 and co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

The European side was added to the tournament after the International Cricket Council replaced Bangladesh, following the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) refusal to send its team to India due to security concerns. Scotland will be led by captain Richie Berrington and will be making their seventh appearance in the T20 World Cup, having previously featured in six editions (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021, 2022, and 2024).

In addition to the main squad, Scotland have also named two travelling reserves and three non-travelling reserves for the marquee event.

Cricket Scotland Head of Performance Steve Snell expressed confidence in the squad’s balance and preparedness for sub-continent conditions.

“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,” Snell said, as quoted by the ICC.

Snell also highlighted the inclusion of young pacer Zainullah Ihsan and all-rounder Oli Davidson.

“There’s obviously a great opportunity for Zainullah Ihsan. 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,” he said.

“Oli Davidson has worked tirelessly on his skills and shown tremendous desire and work ethic in recent months. He thoroughly deserves his call-up,” Snell added.

Scotland have been placed in Group C alongside England, Italy, Nepal, and the West Indies. Their campaign will begin on February 7 at Eden Gardens, where they will face the West Indies.
