Canada steps onto the cricket world stage Saturday when it takes on the co-host U.S. in the opening match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Dallas.
The Canadian men, ranked 23rd in the world, have been drawn in Group A with No. 1 India, No. 6 Pakistan, No. 11 Ireland, and the 18th-ranked U.S. The T20 World Cup will serve as 20-team, 55-game appetizer for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where cricket returns to the Olympic program for the first time since 1900 in Paris when only Britain and France competed.
"It's a hard ask. But I think we're capable of doing it if we play the best cricket," said the Canada coach."A lot of excitement in every ball," said Dassanayake."One over here and there can change the whole game." Former captain Navneet Dhaliwal, Rayyan Pathan and Kirton can also cause middle-order damage with the bat.
The 53-year-old, who has also coached Nepal and the U.S., helped Canada qualify for the 2011 ICC World Cup, its last appearance at the global one-day championship.
