The 2023 Global T20 Canada was the third edition of Global T20 Canada, a Twenty20 professional cricket tournament that was played at the TD Cricket Arena in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

In the final, Montreal Tigers defeated Surrey Jaguars by 5 wickets to win their first title.

Background

The tournament is being held for the first time since 2019; the third Global T20 Canada tournament was originally scheduled to be hosted in 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. [1] Organizers announced plans to re-locate the tournament to the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for 2021, [2] but it was once again cancelled due to COVID-19. [3]

On 16 May 2023, it was officially announced that Global T20 Canada would return for 2023, being held from 20 July to 6 August at TD Cricket Arena at CAA Centre in Brampton. [4] Two new teams, the Surrey Jaguars and Mississauga Panthers, were announced to replace the Edmonton Royals and Winnipeg Hawks. [5] [6] The player draft was held on 14 June 2023 from Mumbai, with each team given a salary cap of $579,500. [7] The availability of Pakistani players was impacted by Pakistan's test series against Sri Lanka in late-July, which was expected to conflict with the tournament; it was expected that players named to the squad for the tests would not be released to participate in GT20. [8]

Teams and squads

The following teams, squads and coaches were announced for the tournament. Each side will include two "marquee" players and three Canadian players from the national side, as well as three emerging Canadian players. [9]
