According to the President of the Ontario Twilight Softball Cricket League (OTSCL) Azeem Khan, 28 teams are set to participate at the forthcoming Canada Cup 1 which is slated for September 2-4.

The OTSCL will be hosting the mega softball event and Khan stated that he is anxious for the inauguration of the tournament.

Previously the Toronto Cup was held under the Ontario Masters Softball Cricket Clubs for three tournaments that ran every two years.

“We [are] excited to run off the three-day softball tournament come September; it will certainly be a thrilling softball event and we at the OTSCL are working assiduously to get things in shape, Khan, a Canada-based Guyanese, related.

Khan also took the opportunity to call on teams from Canada, Guyana, Orlando, Florida and New York to finalise their participation by completing their registration. Khan commented that the deadline for the registration process is July 11th.

The tournament will have four categories: Over-50 (Legends), Over-40 (Masters), and Open, both Flip and Round-Arm bowling.

Khan informed too that lots of trophies and cash incentives are at stake and is promising cricket enthusiasts this will definitely be a showpiece.

Meanwhile, there will be a plethora of former Guyanese cricketers on show in the various categories and some of them are: Sunil Dhaniram, Troy Gobin, Damodar Daesrath, Shaun Deonandan, Rovendra Mandolall, Azib Ali Hanif, Shiv Seeram, Zaheer Haniff, Dillon Heyliger, Hemnarine Chattergoon, Devon Ramnauth, Krishna Deosaran, Harrienarine Chattergoon among others.
