Scotland selectors have gone for experience in their squad for next month'sTwenty20 World Cup in England.

Qasim Sheikh, Moneeb Iqbal, Calum Macleod have been axed with Gordon Goudie ruled out through injury.

That means recalls for Fraser Watts, Richie Berrington and Glenn Rogers with Colin Smith getting the nod as wicketkeeper in place of Simon Smith.

Newly appointed captain Gavin Hamilton will lead the team for a major tournament for the first time and he said: "This event is going to be a huge test for us all, playing some fantastic sides on the biggest stage cricket can offer.

"We have made some positive steps forward in the last couple of weeks and the squad is looking forward enormously to testing ourselves against the world's best.

"It was pleasing that we had some difficult decisions to make, as this shows we have a number of players capable of playing at this level."

Scotland are in Group D alongside New Zealand and South Africa and will play both of their matches at the Oval.

Squad: Gavin Hamilton (captain), Ryan Watson, Kyle Coetzer, Navdeep Poonia, Neil McCallum, Colin Smith, Craig Wright, Jan Stander, John Blain, Dewald Nel, Glenn Rogers, Richard Berrington, Gordon Drummond, Majid Haq, Fraser Watts.
