Shahid Afridi of Pakistan will be the star attraction of Toronto Nationals as they get ready to launch their campaign in the GT20 Canada cricket on Saturday.
The third edition of the Global T20 Canada is all set to return after a three-year pandemic-induced hiatus. Cricket fans around the world are in for a treat as six franchises gear up to battle for supremacy at the TD Cricket Arena, Brampton Sports Park.
Amongst them are the Toronto Nationals, who in the inaugural season of the competition finished at the bottom of the table but made rapid strides to turn their fortunes in the second edition securing a playoff position in the 2019 edition.
With ace pace bowler Aaqib Javed as the head coach, the Nationals will hope to leverage his experience for a title contention. Also competing in the tournament will be Mississauga Panthers, Vancouver Knights, Brampton Wolves, Montreal Tigers, and the Surrey Jaguars.
This season, the Nationals will feature a plethora of seasoned all-rounders, including the likes of the legendary power hitter and leg spinner, Shahid Afridi, Colin Munro and the Zimbabwean match winner, Sikander Raza. Sharing his eagerness for the upcoming tournament, Shahid Afridi said, “I am very excited to come to Canada and play the GT20 in Brampton, I hope people turn out in huge numbers to support the Toronto Nationals.”
