Global T20 Canada, one of the umpteen T20 leagues in the world is set to commence on Thursday, July 25 with all the matches set to take place in Brampton, Ontario. With the Major League Cricket (MLC) in its final stages with just three matches remaining, and the Hundred having begun a couple of days ago, GT20 Canada is another addition in the already populated July-August window, with the Caribbean Premier League to follow at the end of next month.
The fourth edition of the Global T20 Canada has been able to attract some of the biggest names in T20 cricket including the likes of David Warner, Sunil Narine, Marcus Stoinis, Mohammad Amir, Chris Lynn, Carlos Brathwaite, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rassie van der Dussen. The withdrawal of the Pakistan trio of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi will be a dampener, especially for the Pakistan fans. However, with the players from USA and Canada forming a local connection, the current edition of the tournament is set to be a cracking one.
Like the Hundred, a few teams will miss their marquee players who are playing in the Hundred playoffs but other than that, the short 17-day tournament promises to be an exhilarating ride.
