Scotland and Ireland have announced their squads for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will be held in the West Indies and the United States. Both teams have finalised their line-ups for the prestigious tournament.

Scotland’s provisional squad includes batter Michael Jones and bowler Brad Wheal, who were not part of the team for the ongoing T20 tri-series against the Netherlands and Ireland. Jones and Wheal, in particular, demonstrate Scotland’s strategic approach to bolstering its squad for the global event.

Head coach Doug Watson expressed the challenges faced during the selection process, emphasising the importance of achieving the right balance within the squad. With experienced players like Jones and Wheal, who have previously featured in T20 World Cups, Scotland aims to build on their recent successes and make a mark on the international stage.
