Canada made it to this edition of the tournament, by featuring in and winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas Regional Final. The team played six games and won all of them, thus topping the table, and booking their ticket for the T20 World Cup.
During the Americas Regional Qualifier, Shivam Sharma’s off-spin (11 wickets at 7.81) and Kaleem Sana’s left-arm pace (10 wickets at 7.5) proved to be quite effective, and the side would hope that the duo continue to wield their magic in India.
On the batting end, the side has attacking batter Nicholas Kirton in their ranks, who can expect good support from fellow southpaw Yuvraj Samra, who has a strike-rate of 160.72.
Canada’s task will be cut out from the start as their opening group features South Africa, New Zealand, Afghanistan and the UAE. They begin their campaign against South Africa in Ahmedabad on 9 February, 2026.
