Canadian cricketers to play four 50-over matches against Sri Lanka development team on 19-day tour starting March 3
Saad Bin Zafar will captain Canada on a tour of Sri Lanka next month as the Canadian men continue their quest to return to the ICC World Cup.
The Namibia tournament serves as the penultimate stage of the qualification process for the 2023 World Cup. The top two teams will progress to the final qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe in June that will determine the last two participants in the 10-team World Cup in India in October. Canada worked hard to get to this stage, advancing to the Namibia event by finishing atop League A in the six-country World Cup Challenge League with a 13-1-0 record with one no-result.
T20 is a swashbuckling shortened form of cricket, with teams each playing innings of 20 overs . Batsmen are always on the attack, looking to score runs quickly. Zafar, who came to Canada from Pakistan at 17, has a background in business administration/finance and used to be a procurement analyst for Aviva Canada, an insurance company. But the 36-year-old from Brampton, Ont., quit, electing to work part-time in auto sales to make more time for his sport while helping pay the bills.
