Cricket Canada has partnered with the West Indies Cricket Board and Cricket Bermuda to bring the Cricket Canada Summer Festival to Mississauga, Ontario this month. The Festival runs from Wednesday September 8, 2010 to Friday September 17, 2010 at Malton Cricket Club. Canada, West Indies High Performance Centre Squad, and Bermuda will clash in T20 and 50 over cricket action. These will be Canada\u2019s last home matches of the season prior to participating in the 2011 Cricket World Cup in South Asia in February 2011.
\n
\nThis tournament highlights the special relationship between Canada, Bermuda and the
\nWest Indies Cricket Board. The team from the West Indies features several players with
\nfirst class and international experience led by Kieran Powell who played in the 2009 ICC
\nChampions Trophy, Devon Smith, and Brandon Bess who has featured in the recent test
\nseries against South Africa. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to part of the tournament in Canada and I\u2019m sure all the players are
\neagerly looking forward to performing against the opposition. The team has been
\ntogether for three months and they have worked very hard on improving the skill levels.
\nThis trip to Canada is a fantastic opportunity for the players to demonstrate what they
\nhave learned. They will also be keen to show that they are moving forward in the overall
\ndevelopment of their game.\u201d <\/p>\n
