Canada’s cricket team has Saad, a skilled left-arm spinner, bringing loads of experience. Also, Aaron Johnson, a top-order batter, and Kaleem Sana, a left-arm seamer, are expected to play big roles. Most of the team members are older, with just four being under 30.
Nikhil Dutta and Srimantha Wijeyeratne didn’t make it to the squad, but Tajinder Singh is traveling as a backup.
Canada’s first T20 World Cup match is against the USA in Dallas on June 1. The USA won a series against Canada in April.
