T20 World Cup: Left‑arm spinner Kirstie Gordon has been named in Scotland’s 15‑member squad for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England. Scotland are placed in Group B alongside hosts England, Ireland, West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Their campaign begins against Ireland at Old Trafford on June 13.

Kirstie made her Scotland debut as a 14-year-old in 2012 and played for the national side up till 2017. After that, she represented England in the 2018 Women’s T20 World Cup, but never played for the side after 2019, which paved her way to return to Scotland set-up in December last year.

“Kirstie’s decision to come back home and choose to play for Scotland again shows just how far the team have progressed to, and it’s great for our players to have the chance to play with one of the best in the world.
