Apparently Uganda will prepare for a month against an India Academy side. What are Canada’s plans?

(Also profiled in Wickets Oct 2021 edition)

Hopefully, he can make a go of it in the WI professional ranks but does not succeed too much so he rejoins Canada in a few years.

The WI team will have a high performance camp. The Canadians can’t just show up and compete!

The Zimbabwe u19s are playing many games against franchise teams, including Zim internationals. And a fan forum is saying they are going to be badly unprepared. Nothing like the Canadians!
