Kathryn Bryce will captain Scotland's squad for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Bryce last played for Scotland during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024 in May, held in the UAE. Her exceptional performance, scoring 177 runs and taking nine wickets, was instrumental in securing Scotland's first-ever World Cup berth.

Wicket-keeper-batter Sarah Bryce has been named as the vice-captain. The squad also features seasoned leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood, who recently guided Scotland to victory in the Netherlands tri-series. Head coach Craig Wallace expressed confidence in the team's lineup, emphasizing the squad's perfect balance of bat and ball talents.

Wallace noted that selecting the squad was challenging but rewarding, given the players' exceptional performances. 'The squad is filled with match-winners from start to finish,' Wallace said. 'All 15 players are capable of winning games for us at the World Cup.'

Scotland is in Group B alongside England, South Africa, West Indies, and Bangladesh. Australia's national team clinched their sixth title by defeating South Africa in last year's T20 World Cup.

The squad includes: Kathryn Bryce (C), Sarah Bryce (VC), Lorna Jack-Brown, Abbi Aitken-Drummond, Abtaha Maqsood, Saskia Horley, Chloe Abel, Priyanaz Chatterji, Megan McColl, Darcey Carter, Ailsa Lister, Hannah Rainey, Rachel Slater, Katherine Fraser, Olivia Bell.
