The ICC previews Group B:-
Canada will be taking part in its fifth tournament since making its debut in 2002, its best finish in past four appearances being 11th in New Zealand in 2010. But Canadian captain Abraash Khan said his team was not going to Bangladesh just to make up the numbers.
“To play and compete against some of the best junior talent in the world is exciting and a challenge,” Abraash said. “The tournament is a platform where we Canadians can showcase our talent and prove that we are able to compete at the highest level.
“We are going into this tournament with the intent to win. There is no point of us competing if we aren’t looking to win. The main goal for us is to finish in the top eight.
“We will approach every game as a must-win and put our bodies on the line to make it happen. Many of us are of Sri Lankan or Pakistani background, so beating these two sides will mean a lot to us.”
