Scotland Accepts ICC Invite To Replace Bangladesh In Men's T20 World Cup
ICC Chair Jay Shah: Scotland have accepted an invitation to replace Bangladesh and compete in the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup starting on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka, Cricket Scotland said in Edinburgh on Saturday.
Earlier on Saturday, the ICC confirmed that Scotland will replace Bangladesh in the mega event after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to participate under the tournament’s published schedule, which would require them to play their league stage games in India.
Bangladesh had sought to move their group-stage fixtures from India to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns in the wake of fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman being released from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. But ICC’s decision ends weeks of uncertainty after the BCB repeatedly pressed for a venue change and even suggested swapping groups with Ireland.
