Preparation for their African tour, no doubt.

^ I don't pretend to know what obligations Cricket Canada must meet toward Sport Canada as part of the funding they receive, but it is conceivable this would be an issue (preventing abuse, athlete safety). One would expect a considerable increase in funding to be coming with cricket in the Olympics....

It would be interesting to know why Africa was chosen and not USA or West Indies but it will be a important learning experience for the team.
