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. ======================================= Edit: Matthew has struggled in his 2nd year in the 4-Day championship. In 8 inni...

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Youngsters, Hundal and Samra understandably withdrawn for the ODIs against Nepal along with a few others.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.

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Those were some high-scoring games in HK. It ended on a down note but Canada can't be too displeased with the start to their international season given the circumstances However, things are about to get much tougher as the team heads to Nepal for 3 ODIs according to Nepal cricket sites. The itinerar...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

^ Exactly. In the past Canada wasn't able (and probably didn't try hard enough) to give opportunities to young/new talent. It's pleasing to see new players getting what should be multiple chances to contribute.

Nice that the match was available online. Hope the Nepal tour will also be streamed.

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Canada off on a month-and-a-half tour to Hong Kong and Nepal (not yet announced) prior to their debut in the League 2 competition (hosted by UAE) in March (also not announced). The ICC seems reluctant to provide details of the first round of League 2. Nevertheless, It will be a great chance for Cana...
