Canada T20 World Cup Squad 2024
Focusing on the key batters, Navneet Dhaliwal and Ravinderpal Singh stand out as critical assets for Canada. Dhaliwal, known for his aggressive top-order batting, will be essential in setting a solid platform in the powerplay overs. On the other hand, Ravinderpal’s ability to accelerate the score in the middle and death overs can be a game-changer. Their experience and form will be pivotal in stabilizing the innings and providing the necessary momentum.
In terms of bowling, the squad boasts a robust lineup of key bowlers who are expected to make substantial contributions. Junaid Siddiqui and Jeremy Gordon are anticipated to lead the pace attack. Siddiqui’s knack for early wickets and Gordon’s experience in handling pressure situations will be significant against top-tier batting lineups. Additionally, captain Saad Bin Zafar, who also serves as a spin bowler, will be crucial in middle overs where controlling the run rate becomes important.
Complete Squad:
Saad Bin Zafar (c), Aaron Johnson, Dilon Heyliger, Dilpreet Bajwa, Harsh Thaker, Jeremy Gordon, Junaid Siddiqui, Kaleem Sana, Kanwarpal Tathgur, Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Pargat Singh, Ravinderpal Singh, Rayyankhan Pathan, Shreyas Movva.
