The ICC has officially replaced Bangladesh with Scotland for the men’s T20 World Cup 2026, starting February 7 in India and Sri Lanka. Scotland will play in Group C with Italy, Nepal, West Indies and England. The move follows Bangladesh’s refusal to tour India over security concerns, which the ICC rejected after risk assessments found no direct threat.
