Canada’s team has been announced for the T20 World Cup 2026, which is going to play the T20 World Cup for the second time. Dilpreet Bajwa will be the captain of the Canadian team in this mega event. The board has announced a 15-member team for the mega event to be held in India and Sri Lanka. Bajwa will turn 23 at the end of this month. He has experience of only nine ODI and 17 T20I matches.
