[2] Later in 1999, Croning played a single List A match against Barbados in the 1999–00 Red Stripe Bowl, the West Indian domestic limited-overs competition. [3] The following year, he represented Canada in the 2000 Americas Cricket Cup. [2] Croning's next international tournament was the 2001 ICC Trophy, which Canada hosted. He played in four of his team's ten matches, but had little success. [4] Canada placed third in the ICC Trophy to qualify for the 2003 World Cup, but Croning had fallen out of favour by that time.
