Scotland U19 World Cup Squad 2024 & Matches Schedule
Being the associate team with a lack of infrastructure and playing opportunities has been a major hurdle for the Scotland U19 team to come up with major upsets in the tournament history so far. They have always been knocked out in the first round in all 9 editions they participated in so far. It’s high time for England Cricket and ICC to give them more playing opportunities and development funds to help Cricket Scotland impress and unearth some exciting young talent who can help this beautiful spot grow in Scotland. Below, we have discussed the Scotland U19 World Cup squad 2024 & Scotland U19 World Cup 2024 fixtures list in more detail.

Led by captain Owen Gould, the team exhibits a balanced mix of promising players, each bringing their unique strengths to the squad. The batting department is spearheaded by key batters such as Uzair Ahmad, Harry Armstrong, and Logan Briggs, who have consistently demonstrated their ability to anchor the innings and score crucial runs.
In the bowling department, the team boasts a formidable lineup of pace bowlers and spin resources. Players like Bahadar Esakhiel, Ibrahim Faisal, and Rory Grant are expected to lead the pace attack, utilizing their skill and speed to dismantle opposition batting lineups.

Scotland’s Winning Record in U19 World Cup
Scotland’s performance in the U19 World Cup has been below par but we cannot be quite harsh on them as they are an associate team with limited playing opportunities and funds from the ICC member nations. They have been able to qualify for this prestigious U19 World Cup event on 9 different occasions but couldn’t get past the first round.
| Year | Result |
| 1998 | First round |
| 2002 | First round |
| 2004 | First round |
| 2006 | First round |
| 2012 | First round |
| 2014 | First round |
| 2016 | First round |
| 2020 | First round |
| 2022 | First round |
It would be a miracle again if the Scotland U19 team at the 2024 U19 World Cup can move past the first round as they will be playing quite heavily experienced and competitive teams in Group B against England, West Indies, and home team South Africa.
