As the cricket season in Canada heads for a climax, the top four colleges and universities will fight it out on Oct.4, Canadian College and University Cricket (CCUC) President, Hassan Mirza, announced on Sept. 30.
The CCUC initiative is dedicated to growing the sport across campuses, creating opportunities for student-athletes, and building the foundation for Canada’s cricket future.
Meanwhile, the high-demand Canada Super 60 will take place from Oct. 8 to 13, at BC Place, Vancouver. It will bring together top international stars, homegrown talent, and a spectacular entertainment lineup under one roof.
With men’s and women’s matches, live performances, and historic milestones in Canadian sport, this event promises to be one of the most exciting sporting experiences of the year. And it will also witness the game played indoors on a full cricket pitch.
This year’s CCUC Nationals highlighted the rapid growth of collegiate cricket in Canada, creating a vital pathway for student-athletes aspiring to represent Canada on the international stage.
Alumni of CCUC tournaments include national team players such as Saad Bin Zafar, Arman Kapoor, Harsh Thaker, and Kairav Sharma, underlining the competition’s role as a launchpad for future stars, Hassan Mirza added.
Incidentally, cricket players in most of the universities and colleges basically come from South Asian or Caribbean countries.
Four of Ontario’s top student teams - Toronto Metropolitan University, Brock University, University of Toronto (Scarborough) and Ontario Technical University - will battle it out in the playoffs for a spot in the national final, said Swapnil Thakare, media coordinator of the event.
The action will be held at the Maple Leaf Cricket Ground, King City, where some of the most talented young cricketers in Canada will showcase their skills and passion for the game while deciding the top cricket university in Ontario.
In the first game, Toronto Metropolitan University will take on Brock University, while University of Toronto Scarborough will play Ontario Tech University in the second game.
