Canada has unveiled its 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, featuring a blend of experience and emerging talent. Among the notable inclusions is uncapped batter Kanwarpal Tathgur, who has impressed with his performances in domestic cricket despite having played only eight List A games.
Tathgur's selection is a testament to Canada's commitment to developing young players. He joins a squad that includes several veterans, including 39-year-old allrounder Junaid Siddiqui and 35-year-old batter Ravinderpal Singh. The team also boasts a strong bowling attack, led by experienced seamer Jeremy Gordon and left-arm quick Kaleem Sana.
Saad Bin Zafar will captain the side, while Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, and Dilpreet Bajwa are the only players under 30 in the squad. Tajinder Singh, Aaditya Varadharajan, Ammar Khalid, Jatinder Matharu, and Parveen Kumar have been named as reserves, with Tajinder set to travel with the team.
Canada's participation in the T20 World Cup marks a significant milestone for the nation's cricket program. They will face a tough challenge in the tournament opener against USA in Dallas, with India, Pakistan, and Ireland also in their group.
The squad's selection reflects Canada's determination to make an impact on the global stage. With a mix of experience and youthful exuberance, the team will be eager to prove their worth against some of the world's best cricket nations.
