According to tournament rules, each team is required to have at least five Canadian players. This means some locals who may not have otherwise made it will be playing alongside some of the world's biggest cricket stars.

Last year, the Vancouver Knights defeated the Cricket West Indies B Team by seven wickets to win the tournament in the final.

"Canada has a long cricket history, dating back to the 1800s when it participated in the first ever official International cricket match staged in North America vs. the USA," the GT20 website states. 

"Along with capturing the imagination of our youth, the Global T20 Canada game is poised to catapult cricket as the world’s leading sport with a continued growth in broadcast viewership."

The rest of the schedule can be found online and the tournament runs until August 11.
