Scotland Announces Squad For ICC T20 World Cup 2026: The ICC T20 World Cup 2026, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, will start from February 7. After Bangladesh’s exit from this tournament at the last moment, ICC allowed Scotland’s entry in the T20 World Cup. After this, Scotland has announced its squad on Monday i.e. 26 January. Scotland has also included Afghanistan-born fast bowler Zainullah Ihsan in its 15-man squad.

Zainullah Ihsan is the only player in the Scotland team who has been included in the team for the first time. This fast bowler had recently obtained the eligibility to play for Scotland. Safyaan Sharif, who is included in the Scotland team, is of Pakistani origin and his visa application will be scrutinized more closely. Tom Bruce, Finlay McCreath and Oliver Davidson will feature in the World Cup for the first time after being included in the T20 and ODI squads in the last 12 months.
