Peter Della Penna profiles the Americas squad, and in particular captain Ruvindu Gunasekera for CricInfo:-

Though he has never captained Canada before, Gunasekera impressed with his leadership during trial matches at the ICC Americas combine in September which was used to pick the 15-man squad. At 24, he is the fourth-youngest member of the squad but has more than 100 caps for his country. With almost a decade of international experience under his belt since his debut as a 16-year-old in 2008, Gunasekera said he was more than ready for the task of leading the combined side.

“It’s an honour to lead the whole continent in a tournament of this magnitude so I’m looking forward to it,” Gunasekera said. “I’ve been playing for Canada for eight to nine years now. I’ve been the youngest one in the group and I’m used to it. It’s not a matter of me captaining the team, it’s a matter of getting the guys to gel and playing together as a unit and winning together, representing the whole continent. We have to have pride in doing what we do.”
