It appears Canada has brought in another overseas-raised cricketer. An "Olly" Cox was in the Canada A vs B match on April 1st, scoring 41. CricInfo has the following profile for Oliver Cox : https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/olly-cox-1318188. Birthplace: Peterborough, Ontario Age: 20 Club: Wor...

So, it seems we can no longer count Nitish Kumar as an overseas Canadian ... but I will probably continue to think of him as such ;) . It is interesting to speculate whether he would have remained with Canada had Covid-19 not happened. The Challenge League would have resumed in the summer of 2020 an...

Cricket Canada listing some Canada warm-up matches March 30 and April 1st against "MICL" prior to the USA series and also a Canada A vs Canada B match.

What is going on with this Canada team :shock: ? They're ... upending good sides. I really expected a tougher encounter with Scotland the 2nd time around. Instead, another across-the-board solid bowling performance kept the Scots to an even lower total than the previous encounter. Canada had another...

I changed the name of this thread to cover players in general as opposed to just professionals. Anyway, it seems Nitish Kumar is playing for the South West Zone in the National T20 Championship in the US, which is a major selection competition for USA cricket's T20 national side. There was also a 50...

Canada with another important win, though a little closer this time and requiring D/L method. UAE are mixing in 4 and 5 U23 players in their squads. They could maybe field a stronger, more experienced side but are opting to make some change now that will pay off later. Canada may face similar dilemm...

So, 3 of the 4 of the initial Challenge League participants are relegated including the only remaining Americas representation. Two more members of Asian (and Arabian) region are promoted as well as another East African team. Based on the results, the next Challenge League will be more competitive w...
