Richie Berrington will captain the side that will hope to better their performances from 2022, when they famously registered a massive win over the two time champions West Indies in Australia.

"To have Michael Jones and Brad Wheal available, their experience from previous T20 World Cups is crucial for the group," head coach Doug Watson said.

"I’m looking forward to meeting them both, getting to know them and seeing their skills up close. The bulk of the squad have been together for a while now and did a fantastic job last summer at both the 50-over Qualifier and the T20 Qualifier.

"It’s nice to have a bit of continuity along the way, although they haven’t played a lot of cricket since. Hopefully we can see the same level from these players, if not higher, when we get to the Caribbean."

Scotland will have a tri-series with Netherlands and Ireland as a part of their readiness for the mega tournament from May 18.

"I’m very excited about what lies ahead, and I think the players are too, the closer we get to it," Watson said.

"We’re getting a few games in before then; we’re off to play Netherlands and Ireland next week, and that’ll be good just to get a bit of competitiveness under our belts. We’re done with training now, and we want to play competitive cricket. 

“For us as a nation, it’s a real opportunity to shine on the global stage. If you look at the landscape of cricket now, with all the different franchise tournaments available for these guys to play in around the world, this is still the pinnacle. From a personal and team perspective, it’s massive."

Scotland are in Group B of the T20 World Cup along with Cricket's super giants England, Australia and also got Oman and Namibia.
