Scotland qualified for the tournament after finishing runners-up behind Sri Lanka in the qualifier tournament, also held in the UAE earlier this year. In the run-up to the T20 World Cup, they have produced strong performances in the Netherlands, where they played a tri-series against the hosts and Papua New Guinea.

"If you look at the recent Netherlands series, we won five games out of six, and there is a depth in the wider group now, proved by some of those who've not been selected but who've been pushing and performing all year," Wallace said. "It was great to be able to argue about players' cases in a positive sense based on the work they've all produced."

Scotland are in Group B with England, Bangladesh, South Africa and West Indies. They will head to the UAE in mid-September for a training camp before playing two warm-up games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Their opening fixture of the T20 World Cup is against Bangladesh on October 3.
