Scotland is set to compete against Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa, and England in Group B, with the top two teams advancing to the semifinal stage. The tournament kicks off on October 3, with Scotland facing Bangladesh in the opening match in Sharjah.

Craig Wallace, Head Coach of Scotland’s Women's team, mentions: “This is a special day for everyone connected with this team. To be part of the first group of Scottish players to be selected for a senior Women’s World Cup is a great achievement, and the players and their families should be so proud.”

“The makeup and balance of this squad is outstanding. We’ve got match-winners from start to finish within it, which I think is the big difference in the evolution of this squad during my short tenure. People have been putting in crucial performances each time they step onto the field, and that runs right the way through the squad,” he adds.
