Global travel app, Skyscanner, has announced a partnership with Cricket Scotland, becoming an official commercial partner of the Scotland men’s team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
Under the agreement, Skyscanner will feature prominently on the Scotland men’s playing kit during the tournament, which will be staged in India and Sri Lanka in 2026. The partnership represents a significant commercial addition for Cricket Scotland as the team prepares for its return to the sport’s premier short-format global event.
The collaboration brings together Scotland’s national governing body and a globally recognised travel search platform that was founded in Scotland. Beyond on-field branding, the partnership is expected to include marketing and fan engagement initiatives linked to Scotland’s World Cup campaign, leveraging the global reach of both cricket and travel.
Trudy Lindblade, Cricket Scotland Chief Executive, said, “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup provides a unique opportunity to showcase Scottish cricket to a global audience. Our story of being invited to the World Cup just ten days ago, building a staff and squad, designing a kit and securing a new partner is almost unprecedented.
“Our players are extremely proud to be wearing the Skyscanner logo on their striking new playing shirts. Skyscanner’s global reach, innovative approach and Scottish heritage align perfectly with Cricket Scotland’s ambition to grow the game and inspire new audiences.”
Clive Peoples, Chief Marketing Officer at Skyscanner, added, “As a Scottish-founded company, Skyscanner is very proud to support Scotland Men’s Cricket as the team represents their country at the World Cup.
“Travelling for sport creates unforgettable experiences for teams and their supporters. We know how deeply fans value the chance to experience major moments first-hand, and this partnership is a natural fit alongside our growing portfolio of sporting collaborations for 2026, which includes Scottish Rugby and the Solheim Cup.”
Scotland have been drawn in Group C for the tournament alongside West Indies, England, Italy and Nepal. The Scotland men’s team will begin its World Cup campaign on February 7 against the West Indies.
Cricket tournaments are a major driver of international fan travel, and the partnership aligns with Skyscanner’s broader strategy of connecting live sport with travel planning and discovery. For Cricket Scotland, the agreement adds further momentum to its commercial programme as the team prepares to compete against top-ranked nations on the global stage.
