While the hype for the England vs India Test series might be at an all-time high currently, the entire globe will be set to screens in eight months. The reason? Well, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will begin, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
As preparations continue for the mega event, 13 out of the 20 participating teams have now officially sealed their spots. The latest entrant is Canada, who secured qualification from the Americas Regional Final after a commanding campaign on home soil.
Canada plays World Cup in India after 2011
Canada capped off a dominant run in the Americas Qualifier with a resounding win over the Bahamas. Bowling first, they dismissed their opponents for just 57, with Kaleem Sana and Shivam Sharma picking up three wickets each. Dilpreet Bajwa then smashed an unbeaten 36 off 14 balls to finish the chase in just 5.3 overs and confirm Canada’s ticket to the subcontinent. Led by Nicholas Kirton, Canada won all five of their games in the Regional Final, brushing aside Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and Bahamas in a series of clinical performances.
This will be the second time Canada plays in a World Cup event in India. They were one of the 14 teams to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2011, which was jointly held in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. They won just one out of their six league games. Also in 2024, Canada qualified for their first-ever T20 World Cup in the Americas. They won a game against Ireland, but the match against India was abandoned due to rain, ruling them out of the tournament.
