After making its debut at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup this summer, Canada is back in action in ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 play in the Netherlands under new leadership and with a search for a new coach underway.
The decision on both coach and captain came from Cricket Canada's board of directors, said Cricket Canada GM Ingleton Liburd. The field for the 2027 World Cup has been expanded to 14 teams, but 10 of those slots are already spoken for via tournament co-hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe plus the top eight other full ICC members, as per the one-day rankings,
The Canadian men had little time to prepare for the transition to the 50-over League 2 games, leaving behind the shorter, more explosive 20-over format of the Global T20 tournament in Brampton, Ont. Liburd, a former Canadian international is confident Cricket Canada has the resources to get the coach it wants. Cricket Canada's bottom line has been boosted by its partnerships with Boundaries North, which has helped secured several major sponsors as well as revenue from the GT20 tournament.
Last year, the governing body handed out 12 full-time and five part-time player contracts. They provide a modest amount but help pay the bills, with more pay when they go on tour.
