Scotland at the Cricket World Cup

The Scotland national cricket team represents Scotland in the game of cricket. In 1992 Scotland severed their ties with the Test and County Cricket Board and with English cricket, and gained associate membership of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in their own right in 1994.[1] They competed in the ICC Trophy for the first time in 1997, finishing third[2] and qualifying for the 1999 World Cup, where they lost all their games.[3] They also qualified for the 2007[4] and 2015 World Cups.[5]
