One of the legends of Indian Cricket Yuvraj Singh is launching a T10 league in Canada. The league, a collaboration between Yuvraj, star 333 Sports Inc., and Cricket Canada will be Canada 60 and the inaugural edition will be played in July 2025.
Yuvraj Singh is widely regarded as one of India’s greatest cricketers for his explosive batting and all-rounder performances.
He was a key player in India’s 2007 T20 World Cup victory, where he famously hit six sixes in an over and played a crucial role in the team’s 2011 ODI Cricket World Cup triumph.
The Canada Super 60 will aim to boost cricket’s popularity in North America, capitalizing on the growing interest in the sport in Canada and the U.S.
The league will feature both men’s and women’s competitions, becoming the first North American event to do so from its inception.
“I am delighted to lend my leadership and vision to the Canada Super 60 League,” Yuvraj said in a statement.
“This tournament has the potential to be a stepping stone for the future of cricket in this region. Combining local talent and international stars is a recipe for something truly special.”
“I am excited to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see the impact this league will have on cricket in North America.”
Cricket Canada President Amjad Bajwa expressed pride in the launch of the Canada Super 60 league, calling it a significant milestone in developing the sport in the country. He highlighted that Yuvraj Singh’s expertise and influence will boost Canadian Cricket.
“Cricket Canada proudly welcomes the Canada Super 60 League as a significant milestone in developing the sport in our country. Having a legend like Yuvraj Singh at the helm is an honour and an inspiration to everyone involved.”
“His stature and deep knowledge of the game will elevate Canadian cricket and help us achieve new heights. We believe this league will be pivotal in nurturing both men’s and women’s talent in Canada,” Amjad Bajwa said in a statement.
