Edinburgh: Star all-rounder Kathryn Bryce will lead Scotland in upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.

Skipper Kathryn Bryce returns to lead the side for the upcoming global event. Bryce last appeared in Scotland colours during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024 in May this year in the UAE. Her standout performance with the bat (177 runs) and ball (nine wickets) helped the European side qualify for their maiden Women’s T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka were the other qualifiers from the tournament. Her sister, wicket-keeper-batter Sarah Bryce is the designated vice-captain. Also in the squad is experienced leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood, who recently led the side to a victory in the Netherlands tri-series. Squad: 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. “While it was really tough, it was also actually enjoyable to select this squad, looking back at many of those great performances, and we know all 15 players can go out there and win cricket matches for us at the World Cup. “I am so excited about what lies ahead.

If we behave and play the way we have done during the last year, who knows what can happen at the World Cup - we could win as many games as we want to. The players play a great brand of cricket, and have so much belief in themselves, so the possibilities are limitless, really,” he added.
