Now that Canada are qualified for next year's ICC T20 World Cup, perhaps Cricket Canada would like to integrate their politically-motivated player inclusions into the squad now and save the incumbents the shock of being dropped last minute without cause.

Bit of a shocker with Cayman win indeed. In the now meaningless final match with Bermuda, I would hope to see Bajwa build on his performances with another game and Mahir Patel try to score some runs. Ansh Patel should also be able to make his case to the selectors for more high-stakes games. Qualifi...

... and it is done. Cricket joins the Pan American Games for Lima 2027. This should be a boost to cricket in the region, though probably more on the women's side where the game can grow fastest. The details of how teams qualify will be very interesting. It could help Cricket Canada qualify for addit...

^ Yes, I was glad to see the match was completed so we remain a win ahead of Bermuda. And yes, I think Samra is eligible for another U19 championship. I say again Canada needs to retain their ODI status to expose more top youth like Yuvraj Samra to the top level of Associate cricket.

^ Easy win for Canada in the tournament opener. If everything goes to form, Canada will accumulate a huge net run rate lead in the coming matches, rendering the rematch with Bermuda academic. Nice to see a couple of Canadian-developed players leading the batting. Canada need to preserve their ODI st...

The Canada lineup is on Facebook. Dhaliwal and Movva are not involved in the No Frills or the T20 WCQ tournament. The No Frills cup is a bit strange. Canada and Bermuda play 2 matches but not each other. The other 2 teams play 3 matches. Just warm-ups, I guess.

Here is an article on the story: https://torontosun.com/sports/other-sports/corruption-unit-flies-in-to-probe-cricket-canadas-involvement-in-betting-scam If any of this is true, the board (already a walking disaster) needs to go. So too the provincial officials that elected them. The Canadian team s...

With thanks to Czarsportz: Canada, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Bahamas will be playing warm-up T20Is in the NoFrills T20I series from June 11th - 13th, before the start of the 2026 ICC Men's #T20WorldCup Americas Qualifier. #T20WCAmericasQ https://czarsportzauto.com/2026-icc-mens-t20-world-cup-ameri...

^ Kirton back as captain, too !
Aaron Johnson, Dilpreet Bajwa and Ansh Patel are back. Mahir Patel from the 2022 U19s in the squad.
Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh and Movva out/unavailable.

Canada should learn from the 2023 Americas qualifier - be ready for the 1st match.
