“These are exciting times for Scottish cricket, and we are all excited about going to the T20 World Cup and doing well on the international stage. The group of players and coaches have work extremely hard and fully deserve their place in the 17-man squad. Having only played two internationals since 2019, the next two months provide us with great opportunity,” said Gus Mackay, Cricket Scotland CEO, in a statement.
“Our eight-strong management team have been carefully selected to reflect the needs of the team and to ensure they are best prepared for the tournament. The addition of the experienced Jonathan Trott, who will work with the team up to the start of the World Cup, demonstrates our intentions,” he added.
Scotland will start their tournament’s journey against Bangladesh in Round 1 of the multi-team tournament on October 17 in Oman. They will then face Papua New Guinea on October 19, followed by Oman on October 21. The top two teams will move to the Super12 stage of the competition.
