Legendary Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is set to launch a T10 league in Canada in collaboration with UK-based company Star 333 Sports Inc and Cricket Canada. The league will be called Canada Super 60, with its first edition slated to begin in July this year.

The organizers are describing the league as a ‘visionary platform designed to promote cricket’s growth and popularity in Canada’ and North America. They believe that the short, 60-ball each-side format can attract not only the traditional audiences but also generate growth of the sport in a new base.

“I am delighted to lend my leadership and vision to the Canada Super 60 League," Yuvraj said in a statement. “This tournament has the potential to be a stepping stone for the future of cricket in this region. Combining local talent and international stars is a recipe for something truly special. I am excited to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see the impact this league will have on cricket in North America."

The league will launch with eight teams comprising both local and international players. There will also be a fixed quota of players from associate nations. The inaugural season will take place in Toronto.

Crucially, the Canada Super60 League will feature both men’s and women’s leagues, becoming the first competition in North America to feature both men’s and women’s competitions from its inaugural year.

“Cricket Canada proudly welcomes the Canada Super 60 League as a significant milestone in developing the sport in our country. Having a legend like Yuvraj Singh at the helm is an honour and an inspiration to everyone involved. His stature and deep knowledge of the game will elevate Canadian cricket and help us achieve new heights. We believe this league will be pivotal in nurturing both men’s and women’s talent in Canada," Amjad Bajwa, President of Cricket Canada, said in a statement.

Abhishek Shah, Founder and MD of Star 333 Sports Inc, added: “We are thrilled to bring the Canada Super 60 League to life. This league is not just about cricket; it’s about creating opportunities, fostering local and international partnerships, and showcasing the immense potential of cricket in Canada. We aim to establish a world-class league that grows the sport’s footprint in North America and provides a robust platform for talent to shine. With significant investor interest and an ambitious vision, we are confident this league will set a new benchmark for cricket in this region."

 
Too many leagues... Useless and joke leagues are rocking the world of cricket... I think Yuvraj's money must have been finished so he thought about organizing a league to earn some money...
 
Good luck to Yuvi.

It’s always nice to promote the game on these non traditional cricket places.

He is probably being paid for being ambassador. Its a good business.
