Scotland has replaced Bangladesh at next month's T20 Cricket World Cup because of the latter's refusal to play in India

Bangladesh had asked for their matches to be played in Sri Lanka due to security concerns related to growing political tensions with India.

But the International Cricket Council have rejected the request - saying there was an "absence of any credible security threat".

Scotland have taken Bangladesh's place as the highest-ranked team not already at the tournament.
