Global T20 Canada: Vancouver Knights aim to recapture glory with formidable squad

The excitement is palpable as cricket fans eagerly anticipate the start of the Global T20 Canada tournament, set to kick off on July 20th at the TD Cricket Arena, Brampton Sports Park.  Amidst the enthralling mix of teams are the Vancouver Knights, all set to make a significant impact in this year's edition of the competition.

The tournament's lineup also features formidable sides including Mississauga Panthers, Toronto Nationals, Brampton Wolves, Montreal Tigers, and the Surrey Jaguars. In the inaugural edition of the marquee tournament, the Knights brought home the title while in their second edition, they registered another enviable performance; a second-placed berth on the points table, followed up by a hard-fought encounter in the finals, to finish as runners-up. 

Head Coach Donovan Miller who is back for his third season with franchise, reiterated his eagerness for the upcoming tournament, "We are really excited for the tournament, we recently completed our player draft, and we have a very nice balanced team. The most exciting factor about our team is the mix of the Canadian players we have drafted, many of them featured in our championship-winning team from 2018. I am looking forward to their performance, and looking forward to Brampton and Canada", he said.

The team will also feature Pakistani wicket-keeper Mohammed Rizwan who currently holds the second position in the ICC T20I batsmen rankings and the explosive prowess of of Najibullah Zadran, from Afghanistan.

"I am thrilled to be a part of season 3 of Global T20 Canada and in particular the Vancouver Knights. We were the champions of the first season and hopefully we can repeat that performance. I am also looking forward to playing with superstars like Mohammad Rizwan and Rassie Van Der Dussen to learn from them."
