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.

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.
