Canada’s squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has been announced, with all-rounder Saad Bin Zafar named as captain. This marks Canada’s debut appearance in the tournament, where they will compete in Group A alongside USA, India, Pakistan, and Ireland.

The squad boasts considerable experience, with players like top-order batter Aaron Johnson and left-arm seamer Kaleem Sana expected to play key roles. With just four players under the age of 30, Canada’s team brings a seasoned lineup to the competition.

Notable exclusions from the squad include Nikhil Dutta and Srimantha Wijeyeratne, while Tajinder Singh has been named as a reserve. Canada’s campaign kicks off against USA in Dallas on June 1 under the guidance of coach Pubudu Dassanayake, a former Sri Lankan and Canadian international who assumed the coaching role in 2022.
