Canada national under-19 cricket team
Cricket team
The Canada national under-19 cricket team represents the country of Canada in under-19 international cricket.
Canada has qualified for the Under-19 Cricket World Cup on eight occasions, the most of any associate member from the ICC Americas region.
History
Two Canadian players represented the ICC Associates XI at the inaugural 1988 Youth Cricket World Cup in Australia. Four Canadians represented the combined Americas XI at the 2000 Under-19 Cricket World Cup .
At the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup Canada finished in 11th position. They won two games in the competition, against Zimbabwe in the group stage and against Papua New Guinea in the play-off for 11th place.[ 3] The victory against Zimbabwe is their only victory against a full member at the Under-19 World Cup.
The coach of Canada for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa was Farouk Kirmani and the captain was Ashtan Deosammy .[ 4]
Towards the end of the 2022 World Cup , the ICC confirmed that there were nine cases of COVID-19 within Canada's camp.[ 5] Therefore, the team's remaining two matches were cancelled,[ 6] with Scotland progressing to the 13th-place playoff match due to a superior net run rate .[ 7] The Canadian team flew back home shortly after the ICC's statement.[ 8]
