Re: North America Cup

Despite the talent gap between the Canada/USA and the rest (and the second gap between Bermuda/Caymans and Bahamas) there is some benefit to the North American Cup. The lesser sides got some badly needed competitive games. The stronger sides got to test some new players. This tournament was more nee...

Re: North America Cup

If anyone happens to have the Fubo streaming service (rights holder for English Premier League Soccer in Canada), you also get access to a couple of Willow streams. It seems one of those streams is covering the North American Cup. I'll see if I can watch some.

Re: North America Cup

^ They are indeed but they are clearly emphasizing playing some new players over winning. There is no way you'd start this many new faces in an important match.

Re: Cricket in the 2028 Olympics (Los Angeles)

Cricket's Olympic return being felt already ? Czarsportz seems to think cricket will be part of the 2027 Pan American Games: Cricket has been part of The Pacific Games, The South East Asian Games (SEA), The South Asian Games, The Africa Games and is going to take place in the The Pan American Games ...

Re: North America Cup

CC FB has Dhaliwal as captain! No Kirton. No surprise regarding Kirton. Dhaliwal makes sense. The tournament comprises 4 round robin matches, semi finals and the final. As long as Canada don't finish last, they can expect 6 T20Ison this tour. April 19: vs Bermuda April 21: vs Bahamas April 23: vs C...

Re: Cricket in the 2028 Olympics (Los Angeles)

6 team tournaments for both men and women at the '28 Games. Maybe 5 + USA and likely 4 + USA + India. Would not be surprising to see berths awarded by T20 ranking. However, ICC will eventually have to allow a qualifier to give Associates a chance. Otherwise, countries will not be able to tap into th...

Re: North America Cup

^ I don't know how your team can be "fully focused" on anything when their friend, captain and one of the main bats is being held in custody. There must be some even more pertinent questions going through the players' minds like "Will Nick be available to play ?", "Should Cricket Canada replace him ...

Re: Cricket Canada in the Media

The succession of bad off-the-field news continues for CC with captain Nicholas Kirton's arrest in Barbados on charges of marijuana possession. Apart from facing jail time, this could affect his captaincy and place in the team. It could also make his entry into certain countries difficult, like the ...
