Cricket Scotland Fires Succinct Two-Worded Message After Accepting ICC's T20 World Cup Invite

Cricket Scotland is already firing warning shots after receiving the call-up for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. The associate nation has replaced Bangladesh in Group C upon their withdrawal in the lead-up to the marquee tournament.

Bangladesh caused a fuss after they chickened out of travelling to India for the T20 World Cup. Citing security concerns, the BCB demanded a shift of location for their matches, which the ICC flat-out refused.

With the T20 World Cup just days away, the ICC booted the Bangladesh cricket team out and replaced them with Cricket Scotland in the competition.
