He was Canada’s most productive cricketer for nearly a decade before retiring after the last World Cup two years ago. Introduced to Canadian cricket in 1999 by former Toronto Cricket Club (TCC) player Andrew Bracht during a meeting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the aggressive right-arm off-spinner, hard-hitting batsman and brilliant fielder made an impact in his first season in the Toronto & District Cricket Association’s premier league in 2000 as TCC’s player-coach, heading the bowling average (12.83) for his 24 wickets and finishing second in the batting average with (30.82) from 339 runs.
Last Friday, the club recognized Davison’s contributions by inducting him into its Wall of Fame. He celebrated his 43rd birthday a day earlier.
“I am proud of the contributions I made to Canadian cricket and to Toronto Cricket Club,” said Davison, who was back in the city for the first time in six years. “It’s nice to be recognized and also to be back at the club to see some old faces and renew friendships I made when I came here 13 years ago.”
