Scotland Unveil 15-Member Squad For T20 World Cup 2026, Richie Berrington To Lead

T20 World Cup 2026: Scotland announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, set to kick off on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka after the International Cricket Council (ICC) had confirmed the European team's participation at the global event.

Scotland's 15-member squad will be led by captain Richie Berrington and guided by new head coach Owen Dawkins, marking their seventh appearance in the tournament. The European side was also part of the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, making this their seventh appearance in the tournament.

In the statement, Scotland also announced that Afghanistan-born fast bowler Zainullah Ihsan is the new face in Scotland's squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, having recently qualified to play for Scotland.

“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," Steve Snell, who is Head of Performance at Cricket Scotland, said.

“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," he added.

“We’re all very excited and feeling privileged to have this opportunity (to play in the T20 World Cup). The players have been working hard in a fitness phase in recent weeks with Scott Hislen preparing for the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two series in Namibia at the end of March, and I have no doubt that this will help us in the next few weeks," Owen Dawkins, Scotland’s head coach, said.
