Many will notice the absence of Rizwan Cheema, but he has been increasingly seen as a T20 player only, and is now 40 years old. Hiral Patel has not played 50 over cricket for Canada since 2013 but returns to the squad. Ravinderpal Singh is also possibly a surprise with his previous appearances for Canada limited to last fall&#8217;s ICC T20 qualifier, plus an outing against West Indies B in last September&#8217;s cricket fest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cricket Canada has announced the squad for the ICC WCL Division 2 tournament, to be held in Namibia, April 20-27.
