Head Coach Donovan Miller who is back for his third season with franchise, reiterated his eagerness for the upcoming tournament, “We are really excited for the tournament, we recently completed our player draft, and we have a very nice balanced team. The most exciting factor about our team is the mix of the Canadian players we have drafted, many of them featured in our championship winning team from 2018. I am looking forward to their performance, and looking forward to Brampton and Canada”, he said.
The team will also feature Pakistani wicket-keeper Mohammed Rizwan who currently holds the second position in the ICC T20I batsmen rankings.
