ICC Replaces Bangladesh with Scotland for T20 World Cup 2026

• Scotland has been named as the replacement for Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup 2026, starting February 7.
• The decision followed Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) failure to confirm participation within a 24-hour deadline set by the ICC.
• Bangladesh was ejected after their demands to relocate fixtures from India to Sri Lanka due to security concerns were rejected by the ICC.
• Scotland, ranked 14th, will join Group C alongside Italy, Nepal, West Indies, and England.
• This marks Scotland's seventh appearance in the T20 World Cup; they finished third in their group in the 2024 edition.
