Scotland's T20 World Cup Stars
The Players to Watch in the 2026 Tournament
In a dramatic twist of fate, Scotland has been confirmed as the late replacement for Bangladesh in the 2026 T20 World Cup. While they entered the tournament under unique circumstances, this squad is packed with veterans ready to upset the big names in India.
🏏 The Power Hitters
George Munsey (The Maverick)
Known for his signature reverse sweep, Munsey is Scotland's most explosive opener. His ability to dominate the powerplay at Eden Gardens will be the key to Scotland setting competitive totals.

Brandon McMullen (The Anchor)
McMullen has become Scotland's most consistent run-scorer. He is a technically gifted batsman who can anchor an innings or accelerate at will.

🎯 The Bowling Masters
Mark Watt (The Tactician)
Watch out for his famous "24-yard ball." Watt is one of the world's most clever T20 spinners and is notoriously difficult to score off during the middle overs.

Brad Wheal (The Speedster)
Bringing experience from the English County circuit, Wheal leads the pace attack. His pinpoint yorkers at the death make him a massive asset against world-class finishers.

Michael Leask – The Finisher
Affectionately known as "Leasky," he is the man for the clutch moments. Whether it's clearing the ropes in a tense chase or squeezing the run rate with his off-spin, Leask is the heartbeat of this team.
