Scotland has announced its T20 World Cup squad, including uncapped teenage seamer Zainullah Ihsan. Born in Afghanistan and granted refugee status in 2022, Ihsan's inclusion is a remarkable story. He only began playing cricket after arriving in Glasgow. This selection marks a significant step for the young player, who has impressed in youth and 'A' team matches.

Ihsan's selection is a testament to his rapid progress and the opportunities available to him. Captain Richie Berrington leads a squad featuring familiar faces alongside newcomers. Scotland qualified for the tournament after Bangladesh withdrew, showcasing their readiness to compete on the world stage. They will face tough competition in Group C.

The team is set to face the West Indies, Italy, England, and Nepal. Head of performance Steve Snell expressed excitement about the squad's balance and potential. The team will aim to make an impact against strong opponents. This tournament provides a platform for Scotland to showcase its talent and compete with the best in the world.
