With one day until the ETPL 2026 opener, Edinburgh Castle Rockers and Glasgow Cosmic have confirmed another round of squad changes on the official ETPL squads sheet. Oliver Jones (Scotland) replaces Charlie Tear at ECR, USA pacer Rushil Ugarkar is in the Edinburgh squad, and Liam Naylor (Scotland) has joined Glasgow Cosmic in place of Christopher McBride. All three are now reflected on CricketDream for Fantasy XI, Draft and Predictor.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers Changes
Oliver Jones in for Charlie Tear
Charlie Tear is no longer on the Edinburgh Castle Rockers squad list. Oliver Jones — listed as a replacement (Rep) player on the official ETPL sheet — takes his spot. Jones gives ECR another Scotland-affiliated option alongside Ross Adair, Brandon McMullen and Safyaan Sharif.
Rushil Ugarkar added to the ECR attack
Rushil Ugarkar (USA) is confirmed in the Edinburgh Castle Rockers bowling group for ETPL 2026, adding overseas pace depth alongside Trent Boult, Tom Curran and Mitchell Santner. He is a differential fantasy pick most managers will overlook before the opener.
Glasgow Cosmic Changes
Liam Naylor in for Christopher McBride
Christopher McBride is out of the Glasgow Cosmic squad. Liam Naylor (Scotland, Rep) has been added. Glasgow still field Jason Roy and Jimmy Neesham from the 20 August refresh, with Liam Livingstone, Moises Henriques and Keshav Maharaj anchoring the core.
