The popularity of the short-format T10 cricket is growing rapidly around the world. In line with this trend, a new 10-over franchise league is set to launch in Canada.
The T10 league has been approved under the leadership of former Indian star Yuvraj Singh, as part of the ‘Canada Super Sixty’ initiative. A total of 1,135 male and 235 female cricketers from 34 countries have registered to take part in the league. Although the number of Bangladeshi players registered hasn’t been specified, the names of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzid Tamim have been mentioned.
According to reports, both star and emerging players from various countries have submitted their names for the draft of this eight-team league. The list includes players such as Finn Allen, Sikandar Raza, Naseem Shah, Alex Hales, Shamar Joseph, Jason Roy, Keshav Maharaj, Tim Seifert, Tim Southee, Jimmy Neesham, Azam Khan, Lungi Ngidi, Rilee Rossouw, Chris Lynn, Jason Holder, Andre Fletcher, Kyle Mayers, Tabraiz Shamsi, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Martin Guptill, Dawid Malan, Chandrapaul Hemraj, and Gudakesh Motie.
The organizers have announced that the draft for the inaugural season will be revealed soon. Competitions for both men’s and women’s divisions are scheduled to begin this July.
Kyle Coetzer, the tournament’s assistant director and legendary Scottish cricketer, said, “We are thrilled to see such overwhelming participation from star cricketers across the globe. This league is not just about entertainment—it will play a significant role in the development of cricket in Canada.”
