[In a seeming replacement for the GT20 Canada, Cricket Canada plans to launch a new 60 ball tournament, this summer. This competition promises the same international, Canadian and Associate participation but also women’s matches.]

A new cricket league is set to launch in the Toronto area in July, with the hope that it will grow across the country.
The Canada Super 60 League will feature the short-form 10-over version of the game. Matches last about 90 minutes with each team batting for 10 overs (60 balls), making for all-action contests with batsmen swinging for the boundary in search of runs.
In contrast, the Global T20 Canada tournament, which started in Brampton, Ont., in 2018, features the 20-over version of the game.
The new competition is being organized by British-based Star 333 Sports Inc., in conjunction with Cricket Canada, with former Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh serving as the face of the competition.
