[In a seeming replacement for the GT20 Canada, Cricket Canada plans to launch a new 60 ball tournament, this summer. This competition promises the same international, Canadian and Associate participation but also women’s matches.]<\/p>\n

A new cricket league is set to launch in the Toronto area in July, with the hope that it will grow across the country.<\/p>\n
The Canada Super 60 League will feature the short-form 10-over version of the game. Matches last about 90 minutes with each team batting for 10 overs (60 balls), making for all-action contests with batsmen swinging for the boundary in search of runs.<\/p>\n
In contrast, the Global T20 Canada tournament, which started in Brampton, Ont., in 2018, features the 20-over version of the game.<\/p>\n
The new competition is being organized by British-based Star 333 Sports Inc., in conjunction with Cricket Canada, with former Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh serving as the face of the competition.<\/p>\n
