Re: Cricket Canada AGM

I didn't think CC would change leadership when things are going so well for the organization, but Amjad Bajwa has been elected the new President. Like Rashpal Bajwa, he is a former Cricket BC President.

Re: USA vs Canada

Canada improved as the series went on but the US with their newly qualified players has too much depth. Canada struggle to match them without their top bowlers. Nitish Kumar top-scoring for the Americans adds insult to injury :( USA sweeps the series 4 - 0. Hope our coach has a better idea of his be...

Re: USA vs Canada

Canadian bowling struggling in the series so far. Allowing the Americans to post 230 for the loss of 3 wickets won't get the job done. The only good thing is that Uday Bhagwan and Rishiv Joshi are getting matches at about 23 year-old. Hope they will develop into mainstay bowlers.

Re: USA vs Canada

^ I like the $pla$h of TD green on the front of the kit, though :). Canada brought down so many to the Houston camp was to see what T20 talent was in the pool. It would be disappointing if they end up with the same 11 that plays the ODIs. They did add Joshi but he is just filling in for Kaleem Sana....

Re: ICC favorite son/daughter (yet again)

USA to host Canada at the Prairie View Cricket Complex facility in Houston, Texas. It has neither locker rooms nor washrooms. Not a pleasant venue for either team. It is one thing to play there against Canada. But, the USA is planning to host test nation Bangladesh there in May. Wonder whether that ...

Re: Cricket Canada announcements and news

At the recent USA National Championships they lost games. It wasn’t raining but the outfield was wet. Ummmmm….King City? Canada is hosting ODIs later this year. What is CC doing about the facilities? Genuine question. I know. I've mentioned this a few times. Games at King City are at risk with even...

Re: Cricket Canada funding and financials

TD Bank joins the list of sponsors. https://www.cricketcanada.org/news-detail/2922/TD-and-Cricket-Canada-come-together-for--the-love-of-the-game A few years ago, it would be unthinkable that names like Coke and TD would be associated with CC. For the first time, their are resources behind the organi...

Re: Canadian overseas players

It appears Canada has brought in another overseas-raised cricketer. An "Olly" Cox was in the Canada A vs B match on April 1st, scoring 41. CricInfo has the following profile for Oliver Cox : https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/olly-cox-1318188. Birthplace: Peterborough, Ontario Age: 20 Club: Wor...

Re: Canadian overseas players

So, it seems we can no longer count Nitish Kumar as an overseas Canadian ... but I will probably continue to think of him as such ;) . It is interesting to speculate whether he would have remained with Canada had Covid-19 not happened. The Challenge League would have resumed in the summer of 2020 an...
