Vancouver is preparing for a spectacle. Canada Super 60 — the country’s first professional T10 league — has unveiled its first wave of international signings ahead of the official draft, and the names signal immediate global intent.
From seasoned match-winners to explosive modern stars, the inaugural player pool promises a tournament built for pace, power, and prime-time entertainment.
To see such top players coming to BC Place for the very first time adds a new aura to this iconic venue. This is just the start of something very special.
A Global Roster, Built for Impact
The first wave features some of the most recognisable names in world cricket. Piyush Chawla, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Malik, Quinton de Kock, Shakib Al Hasan, Moeen Ali, Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, David Wiese, Ravi Bopara, Rishi Dhawan, Chris Lynn, Alex Hales, Imran Tahir, Isuru Udana, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz headline a list designed to deliver instant credibility and excitement.
Their arrival transforms BC Place into a global cricketing stage — one where experience meets fearless modern batting and tactical bowling mastery.
Across six franchises — Brampton Blitz, Mississauga Masters, Montréal Royal Tigers, Vancouver Kings, Toronto Sixers, and Whiterock Warriors — these international stars will anchor squads built for balance and high-impact matchups.
Canada’s Core Takes the Spotlight
Alongside global icons, Canada’s leading players step into a defining moment for the sport domestically.
Harsh Thaker, Dilpreet Bajwa, Ajayveer Hundal, Navdeep Singh Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Kaleem Sana, and Shreyas Movva form a strong national core — players who now have the platform to compete, perform, and grow alongside world-class talent.
Their inclusion ensures the tournament is not just imported spectacle, but a genuine step forward for Canadian cricket.
A Platform for the Global Game
Canada Super 60’s reach extends beyond traditional powerhouses. The league will also feature standout players from associate nations — expanding representation and opportunity on a major stage.
Names such as Ben Manenti, Jack Jarvis, Ali Khan, Obus Pienaar, Bas de Leede, Mark Watt, Junaid Siddique, Rushil Ugarkar, and Michael Leask bring diversity, skill, and a broader competitive edge to the tournament.
This inclusive approach positions the league as both a showcase and a launchpad — for Canada and for cricket’s emerging global talent.
Built for Firepower
This is a format designed for moments.
Fans can expect the attacking brilliance of Quinton de Kock, the raw power of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and the aggressive strokeplay of Chris Lynn, Jason Roy, and Alex Hales. Add the composure of Dawid Malan and the all-round excellence of Shakib Al Hasan and Moeen Ali, and the batting depth becomes formidable.
With the guile of spinners like Piyush Chawla and Imran Tahir, combined with the pace of Andrew Tye and Dwaine Pretorius, the balance between bat and ball sets up a tournament defined by unpredictability.
Every match is built to deliver.
The quality of players signed sets an outstanding platform for Canadian cricketers to learn and compete alongside global stars.
Tickets and the Road Ahead
The inaugural edition will take place from October 8–13, 2025, at BC Place, Vancouver. Tickets go on sale in the first week of September, with demand expected to surge given the venue’s limited indoor capacity and the scale of talent on display.
With international firepower, Canadian pride, and a world-class venue at its core, Canada Super 60 is set to redefine cricket’s footprint in North America.
