Re: Global T20 Canada 2020

Two-thirds through June and it doesn't seem Southern Ontario will open up quickly enough to play a 2020 edition of the GT20. Any advancement of the Brampton stadium will have to wait another year. Have to agree with some of Eddie Norfolk's sentiments in the article: http://www.canadacricket.com/?p=1...

Re: Cricket Canada AGM

Seems as though some people are intent on staying in control : http://www.canadacricket.com/?p=13301 ;) However, arbitrators and the courts may undo their plans ... in time. Thankfully, one party is shining light on some of what CC would prefer were hidden. It doesn't look good that the governing bo...

Re: Cricket Canada AGM

^ Indeed this is why it would be interesting and possibly enlightening if the leadership of Cricket Council of Alberta were to be the representatives of that province at future AGMs. If they live up to their talk they would be much more likely to give an account of meeting proceedings. Currently, we...

Re: Cricket Canada AGM

CC surprisingly announce their 2019 AGM for June 27-28: https://cricketcanada.org/news-single?nid=118 Apparently they will make an effort to live-stream the open sessions, since the meeting is going to be on-line anyway. The announcement comes a bit late by a few days as far as we understand. So why...

Re: Cricket Canada AGM

2020 AGM for the year ending December 2019: The thirty day period of advanced notice for the AGM would appear to have passed without any word of the AGM, notice of a Special General Meeting or any information at all, really. Are CC following their own constitution ? Do the provincial boards have any...

Re: Meanwhile in Alberta

Alberta Cricket Council's side of the story recapped again and an update on the matter: https://www.facebook.com/devesh.shankar.1/videos/10158271888033147/ The situation is of interest beyond Alberta because of the implications for the leadership of Cricket Canada.

Re: Global T20 Canada 2020

Perhaps it could be a Canadian only tournament with players from all over the country. Yes, the tournament would probably rely on more Canadians this year than anticipated but would still require a significant amount of foreign content. It would have to get a few of the "icon" players and some seco...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2020

While a 2020 GT20 might not be possible or indeed advisable, the tournament is in the favourable position of being single-venue and not relying on local fans.
