DARCEY CARTER NAMED IN WORLD CUP TEAM OF THE TOURNAMENT

Darcey Carter has been rewarded for her outstanding performances at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 by being named in the Team of the Tournament - the first time a Scottish player has been recognised in this way.

Carter has been named as the 12th player, after making 208 runs from five matches at the top of the order. That included two half centuries, with 59 against West Indies and 72 not out against New Zealand.

Four players from the victorious Australian side that lifted the trophy at Lord's have been named in the Team of the Tournament. The champions, who lifted the trophy for the seventh time, are the best represented nation, with runners-up England providing two players to the team. The remaining players in the XI, plus the 12th player, come from six different nations.

The team was selected by a panel consisting of ICC representative Gaurav Saxena, members of the tournament commentary team Ian Bishop, Anjum Chopra, Julia Price and Ebony Rainford-Brent, and media representative Valkyrie Baynes.
