Re: Global T20 Canada

I starting following the league but soon lost interest. Looks like the league was never meant to encourage and promote Canadian Cricketers, apart from Nikil Dutta and couple others no one else shinned. I was shocked to not see the likes of Rizwan Cheema, Cecil Pervaz and others get fair opportunity...

Re: Global T20 Canada

Dilip Pachchigar and Harry Grewal from Vancouver are involved. Consequently, they are unavailable for the Western Canada t20, the BC Big Bash and the Canada Cup u17 tournaments all being held in Surrey.
