Navneet Dhaliwal to captain Canada at ICC World Cup Americas Qualifier

TORONTO — Navneet Dhaliwal will captain Canada at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier in Antigua from Nov. 7 to 15.

The Canadian men will be joined by Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Panama and the U.S. in the round-robin tournament that will send two teams to the two eight-country qualifiers for the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup to be played in Australia next November.

The Canadian roster includes all-rounder Rayyan Pathan who recently played in Nepal’s T20 Everest Premier League. Pathan also claimed eight wickets, with his medium-pace bowling, and posted a highest score of 46 at the 2019 Cricket West Indies Colonial Medical Life Super50 Tournament in St. Kitts.

The Canadian team leaves Sunday for Antigua.
