The first qualifier in Global T20 Canada will be played today, between Brampton Wolves and Montreal Tigers. Both the teams have won 4 matches each in the group phase. Quite a few of the superstars will be in action today, including David Warner, Carlos Brathwaite and Chris Lynn. Initially I was a bit skeptical about this league, but then I noticed that a lot of players from the associate nations are taking part, and they are rubbing shoulders along with legends from full member nations. Hopefully they can grow much bigger in the coming years.
Yes, hopefully, they will be able to grow bigger. but it is going to take time. And I hope they will also be looking to improve cricket in their own country as a sport that is also loved by their own people. because it is definitely not a good idea for them to play cricket with some expats. I think it is high time ICC should do something about it.
by the way, can someone tell me if those players who are not from a certain country like Canada or UAE, playing for the national team, are they even the citizens of the country? or are they just playing because they Needed some players and those people wanted to play cricket professionally?
