Re: development

Well, it appears you are right, Victorian. CC is forming a pool of established players (Pool A) and a pool of emerging players (Pool B) selected by provincial selectors. The national selectors will draw from the two pools to choose the Canada 'A' squad. From there, players can move up to the nationa...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Czarsportz is releasing the CWC League 2 schedules for each team. It looks to be 9 tri-series for each team for a total of 36 matches. There are other ODIs and T20Is added . Apparently, the top 4 from League 2 earn berths in the WC Qualifier. The 2027 Qualifier Playoff will feature the bottom 4 from...

Re: T20 WC 2024

Following the Feb-March 2024 League 2 ODIs in UAE, Scotland and the hosts will play a T20 series. Canada is not participating it seems. Is there another League 2/T20I series for Canada prior to the T20 WC ? If not, how will Canada prepare for that competition ? If Canada and the U.S. were not playin...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Confirmed that Canada will play matches against Nepal 'A'. 50 over matches are scheduled for February 18, 20 and 22. The Nepal and UAE-hosted CWC League 2 series are now listed in the ICC calendar. Why can't ICC bring itself to actually announce the start of the cycle and Cricket Canada its schedule...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

It is tough to beat Nepal in Nepal but Canada's bowling peaked in the first match of the Nepal bi-laterals. Team performances have declined from there. A single wicket taken in a chase of 232 is a concern.

Canada have a struggle ahead in League 2. I hope they have a better idea of their best team.

Re: Canadian overseas pros

Matthew Nandu is picked to Guyana in the CWI 2024 4-Day championship. It is a positive that he is in the Guyana side and did not have to rely on being in the Windies Academy side.

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

The good news is Canada seem to be capable of scoring a decent total. However, there has to be some concern with the way Nepal easily coasted home. Even another 30 runs might have been within Nepal's reach. The 3rd wicket partnership of ~150 runs all but won the match. This Nepal team is a good test...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

^ Wondering whether there is a minimum number of ODIs played in recent years before a team can be ranked. Looking at the July 2019 ICC ODI rankings, shortly after USA and Namibia gained (or regained) ODI status, those two countries are not shown. Netherlands (6 ranking ODIs), Nepal (8) and Papua New...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

An acceptable result in a seven run loss to a very deep team in Nepal for the first ODI. Some of the Canadians have only a single competitive match thus far in 2024. Disappointing to not get over the line but they need to learn their lessons now. Hoping for Dhaliwal to return to the form where he wa...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Youngsters, Hundal and Samra understandably withdrawn for the ODIs against Nepal along with a few others. Kaleem Sana brought in. Still no Jeremy Gordon.

This will be a rare experience for Canada playing abroad before a large and raucous crowd.
