Seven Pakistani cricketers, including captain Babar Azam, Asif Ali, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Mohammad Nawaz, are set to participate in the Global T20 Canada.
The fourth edition of the Global T20 Canada league is scheduled from July 25 to August 11, featuring six teams.
- Vancouver Knights: Babar Azam, Asif Ali, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan
- Toronto Nationals: Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz
- Bangla Tigers Mississauga: Iftikhar Ahmed
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Amir, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Shaheen Shah Afridi were part of Pakistan’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the team did not advance to the Super 8 stage and returned home.
The league will also feature other international cricketers such as Mohammad Nabi, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, David Wiese, Hazratullah Zazai, David Warner, and Carlos Brathwaite.
The inaugural edition of the league in 2018 was won by the Vancouver Knights, while the Winnipeg Hawks claimed victory in 2019. The defending champions are the Montreal Tigers, who won the title in 2023.
