Canada has unveiled a battle-hardened squad for their second crack at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, led by skipper Dilpreet Bajwa. After a gritty fourth-place group finish in 2024 with three points—including a thrilling 12-run upset over Ireland—these boys are hungry to make noise.
X-Factor Returns: Kaleem Sana Leads Charge
Kaleem Sana, the pace demon who turned heads in 2024, headlines alongside Nicholas Kirton, whose blistering 49 off 35 lit up the Irish clash. The full 15-man unit: Dilpreet Bajwa (C), Ajayveer Hundal, Ansh Patel, Dilon Heyliger, Harsh Thaker, Jaskarandeep Buttar, Kaleem Sana, Kanwarpal Tathgur, Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Ravinderpal Singh, Saad Bin Zafar, Shivam Sharma, Shreyas Movva, Yuvraj Samra.
Building on that debut promise, Canada blends experience with youth. Sana's slingy action troubled the best, while Kirton showed gutsy batting flair. For Indian fans, this means potential thrillers in the group stage—remember their Ireland scalp? With the Men in Maple eyeing upsets against big guns, expect them to punch above their weight on home-ish soil. T20 World Cup 2026 just got spicier.
