Global Canada T20 2023 - the third edition of the tournament - will start on Friday, July 21 with Brampton Wolves facing Mississauga Panthers in the competition’s curtain raiser.
After a three-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the eagerly-awaited 20-over tournament makes its return.
Organised by Cricket Canada and recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), a total of six teams will be participating in this tournament.
The six teams participating in the third edition of Global Canada T20 are Brampton Wolves, Mississauga Panthers, Montreal Tigers, Surrey Jaguars, Toronto Nationals, and Vancouver Knights.
Each of these teams will have 16 players in their squad from full and associate nations. Of these 16 players, each side must have two world-renowned players, three Canadian national team talents, and three emerging Canadian players.
All the teams will face each other in a round-robin format in the league stage where all sides will play a total of seven games. The top four teams in the standings at the end of the league phase will qualify for the playoffs.
The playoffs will witness the top two teams compete in Qualifier 1 for a direct spot in the final, while the third and fourth-placed teams will meet in the Eliminator for a spot in Qualifier 2.
Qualifier 2 will pit the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator for the second spot in the final.
