Didn't Aaron Johnson retire? No information about warmup games.

^ Yes. I'm sure Johnson did retire but I felt it was because he was not being selected and probably off the list of salaried players. I have doubts about how effective he will be but we'll see.

Also in the "we'll see" category is Matthew Spoors. I don't think Pubudu liked him which is unfortunate because he seemed close to being a strong bat and later showed himself to be a useful part-time bowler in landing a Big Bash contract.

After the past couple of years of turmoil Canada is not really in the running for a top 4 finish in League 2. The next year is about finding the best side to compete in the playoff qualifier. It should not have come to this.

Apparently they played a few games in Toronto. Playing a TDCA XI is hardly like playing Netherlands.

Saw this on Bluesky from a guy who writes about USA and MLC cricket. A guy named Keith Brake.

Cricket Canada has moved its tri-series with the USA and Netherlands at King City behind closed doors. All tickets are being refunded. I suspect the decision was influenced by security concerns after CC president Arvinder Khosa's house was hit by a second drive-by shooting in two weeks.
