An international cricket tournament that was set to take place in Brampton will not happen this year, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says.
Brown, who has called Brampton the “cricket capital of Canada,” confirmed the cancellation of the GT20 in an interview with CBC Radio’s Here and Now this week. Organizers have said the tournament last year attracted tens of thousands of attendees and 150 million worldwide TV viewers.
Brown said the cancellation is a “setback” because it means there won’t be international cricket stars playing the game in Brampton this year, but he has high hopes for the future of the sport in the city.
