Australian all-rounder and Surrey Jaguars captain advises Canada to keep playing and enjoying the game
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, the Surrey Jaguars captain, has been impressed with Canadians’ love for cricket during the ongoing GT20 Canada 2024. Stoinis said his advice for Canadians would be to keep playing and enjoying cricket as this was the best time to be involved with the game amid its global expansion.
“It is clear that Canada loves their cricket. This is a great competition. It is great to be playing cricket here,” said the 2021 T20 World Cup champion Stoinis before his franchise ended their season’s campaign against Montreal Tigers in Brampton.
Before leaving Canada, Stoinis said his message for the country was to continue having fun at the GT20 like they have always done over the years.
“What a great time to be playing for our generation, come around the world and do that sort of stuff,”
Stoinis added.
“The opportunity that cricket has got at the moment, the game is growing, taking everyone around the world, anyone can play a high level of cricket.”
Like I said, the best time to be playing is this generation, so enjoy it, have fun, and keep playing,” said Stoinis.
The GT20 Canada 2024 playoffs begin on Friday, August 9, with David Warner-led Brampton Wolves, Montreal Tigers, Bangla Tigers Mississauga and Toronto Nationals having made it, while Surrey Jaguars and Vancouver Knights could not.
The GT20 Canada is an established event on the Canadian, North American and global cricket calendar, and continues to provide a massive platform to showcase the growth of cricket in the country. The fourth edition of North America’s marquee T20 league is being played from July 25 to August 11 in Brampton, Ontario.
