U19 World Cup: Thomas Knight has been appointed as Scotland’s captain for the 2026 International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Under-19 World Cup, to be held in Namibia and Zimbabwe from January 15 to February 6. In a statement, Cricket Scotland said that following the ICC Europe Qualifier in August, Shlok Thaker and Shreyas Tekale have been added to the squad for the biannual showpiece event.
“It’s exciting to welcome Shlok and Shreyas into the squad, and we’re really happy to see the work they’ve put in to get to this stage,” said head coach Keegan Russell.
“Shlok was with us as part of the wider training squad and unfortunately missed out on a place at the Qualifier. He’s gone away and taken on board the feedback, put a huge amount into his training, and come back fitter and stronger and is now bowling the best that we’ve seen him.”
