Hannah rainey

T20 World Cup Global Qualifier: Scotland have been forced into a late squad change ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, with Hannah Rainey officially approved as a replacement for injured leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood.

The Event Technical Committee of the tournament approved Rainey's inclusion after Maqsood was ruled out with a metacarpal fracture she sustained during Scotland's warm-up match against Pakistan on June 9.

This injury is a setback for Scotland as they prepare for their second consecutive Women's T20 World Cup under the leadership of experienced all-rounder Kathryn Bryce.
