Cricket has given me everything—an identity, a career, and a purpose. Looking back at my journey, I realize how crucial the right opportunities, exposure, and guidance were at the defining moments of my career. From playing in the U-19 World Cup to representing India on the biggest stage, my growth as a cricketer was shaped by the platforms that allowed me to express myself, learn from the best and compete at the highest level. This belief in the power of opportunity has brought me to Canada Super 60.
Canada is a country with immense sporting talent, and I firmly believe that cricket here is on the verge of something special. The Canada Super 60 Ten over a side league is an ideal platform for budding cricketers—both men and women—to gain exposure, experience, and a chance to showcase their abilities. This league will allow Canadian cricketers to play alongside and against some of the finest players of this generation. The presence of world-class talent, combined with top-tier coaching and mentorship, will give them the impetus they need to take their game to the next level.
The Ten over format is the perfect vehicle to popularize cricket in Canada and North America. It is short, explosive, and high-energy—qualities that perfectly align with North America's love for fast-paced and entertaining sports. We promise plenty of "home runs" in the form of massive sixes and breathtaking fours. This format has already shown its appeal worldwide, and I do not doubt that it will captivate fans in this region. With every match, we aim to deliver pure cricketing entertainment, ensuring that fans leave the stadiums and their screens thrilled and wanting more.
But this league is not just about the game—it is about building a cricketing culture in Canada. We want to create an ecosystem where young cricketers have a clear pathway to becoming professionals. It is about establishing a league that becomes a launchpad for Canadian talent, one that inspires the next generation to take up the sport seriously.
One of the most exciting aspects of Canada Super 60 is our commitment to women's cricket. From the year of its inception, we have ensured that women’s cricket is part of the league. This is not an afterthought—it is a core part of our vision. We are taking baby steps today, but with each passing season, we will make it bigger and better and bring women’s cricket on par with the men’s game. Equality in cricket starts with opportunity, and we are ensuring that female cricketers in Canada get the same platform as their male counterparts.
North America is poised to become a major hub for cricket, and this is the right time for investors to recognize the potential and become stakeholders in this growth. The sport is expanding rapidly, and leagues like Canada Super 60 will play a key role in cementing its place in this part of the world. This is more than just a league—it is the foundation of a cricketing revolution in North America. The talent is here, the passion is growing, and we can make cricket a mainstream sport in Canada with the right investment and support.
As the leader of Canada Super 60, I am committed to delivering an outstanding first season. We are assembling a world-class team to ensure the league lives up to its motto: The Future is Here. Whether you are watching in the stadium, on television, or in the digital space, our goal is to make your experience unforgettable. The action will enthral fans at the ground, television viewers will get cutting-edge production that brings every moment to life, and digital audiences will be treated to insightful, entertaining, and engaging content.
Most importantly, we want our players to have an incredible experience—on and off the field. Cricket is a sport that thrives on passion and camaraderie, and we want to create an environment where players feel valued, motivated, and excited to be part of something historic.
Canada Super 60 is not just another cricket league. It is a movement. It is a chance to change the landscape of cricket in Canada forever. It is about giving young cricketers the same kind of opportunities that shaped my career. It is about ensuring that, in the years to come, we see players from Canada representing teams on the global stage.
This is just the beginning. The future of cricket in Canada is bright, and I am honoured to play a role in making it happen.
Let’s build something extraordinary. Let Canada be the True North cricket in this region.
