The Edinburgh Castle Rockers are one of the three founding franchises of the European T20 Premier League. Based in Scotland’s capital, the franchise represents Edinburgh within the six-team competition launching in August 2026. Owned by a New Zealand-based consortium, the Rockers bring international cricket expertise and an established player development partnership through their connection with Otago Cricket. For a full overview of all six ETPL franchises see our ETPL Teams 2026 guide.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers : Ownership
The franchise is owned by a New Zealand-based consortium comprising two former international cricketers and Otago Cricket, one of New Zealand’s six major associations.
The New Zealand connection is a deliberate one. Scotland and New Zealand share strong cricketing ties, and the ownership group’s background across playing, coaching, and administration covers the full spectrum of what a new franchise requires to build sustainably.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers : Squad Players

Edinburgh, Scotland and the ETPL
Scotland is a full associate member of the ICC and competes internationally in white-ball formats. The national team has featured in ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers and has produced players who have competed in franchise leagues globally. Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital and a natural anchor city for franchise cricket within the ETPL structure.
The presence of a professional franchise in Edinburgh is significant for Scottish cricket development. It creates a professional playing environment for local talent alongside the international players who will make up the core of any ETPL squad. The league’s partnership with Cricket Scotland underpins this development purpose. For the full ETPL context including format, schedule, and the other five franchises, see our ETPL hub page.
Betting on the Edinburgh Castle Rockers
As squad compositions for the Edinburgh Castle Rockers are confirmed closer to the August 2026 season, outright and match winner odds will begin to take shape. The franchise’s ownership depth and Otago connection suggest a well-organised operation, but squad signings will be the primary driver of their market positioning.
