• Bangladesh has been excluded from the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 due to political reasons and security concerns raised by its government regarding playing in India.
• Scotland replaces Bangladesh in Group C, despite initially failing to qualify after losing to Italy.
• Scotland's revised schedule includes matches against West Indies, Italy, England, and Nepal.
• Key matches for Scotland are against West Indies (Feb 7), Italy (Feb 9), and England (Feb 14) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, and against Nepal (Feb 17) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
• Bangladesh's demand to play all its matches in Sri Lanka was rejected by the ICC, leading to their exclusion.
