More than 1300 players register for Canada Super 60

Over 1300 players - both men and women - have registered for the Canada Super 60, a T10 league, endorsed by legendary former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. About 1135 male and 235 female players from 34 nations have put in their names to be part of the league to be held in the slam-bang T10 format.

Finn Allen, Sikandar Raza, Naseem Shah, Alex Hales, Shamar Joseph, Jason Roy, Keshav Maharaj, Tim Seifert, Tim Southee, Jimmy Neesham, Azam Khan, Lungi Ngidi, Rilee Rossouw, Chris Lynn, Jason Holder, Andre Fletcher, Kyle Mayers, Tabraiz Shamsi, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Martin Guptill, Dawid Malan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Chad Bowes, and Gudakesh Motie are among the male international stars who have agreed to be part of the eight-team tournament.

As far as female cricketers are concerned, athletes like Maddy Green, Fran Jonas, Rosemary Mair, Eden Carson, Tazmin Brits, Amy Smith, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Jess Jonassen, Shabnam Ismail, Laura Harris, Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Sinalo Jafta, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Fatima Sana, and Lea Tahuhu are in the mix.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to see some of the biggest names in world cricket signing up for the Canada Super 60! Their involvement will elevate the competition and provide invaluable exposure to Canadian players, fostering a sense of community and excitement among fans locally and globally," said former Scotland captain and assistant tournament Director Kyle Coetzer.

According to organisers, the draft dates will be revealed in the coming days. The inaugural season for both the men's and women's competitions is set to commence in July.

Canada already has a well-established T20 cricket league - Global T20 Canada. The league had its inaugural season in 2018 with six teams competing. There have been three more editions of the tournament in 2019, 2023, and 2024.

Last year, Marcus Stoinis, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, David Warner, Sunil Narine, and Mohammad Amir were some of the high-profile cricketers who featured in the T20 extravaganza. Now, the T10 tournament will hope to replicate similar success.
