    Canada have picked uncapped batter Kanwarpal Tathgur in their 15-member squad for T20 World Cup 2024. Tathgur, who has played only eight List A games, is one of the six new faces from the side that played against USA in the five-match T20I series last month.
    The others include Guyana-born seamer Jeremy Gordon, who had made his debut for Canada in 2012; 39-year-old allrounder Junaid Siddiqui, who last played a T20I in February 2022; left-arm quick Kaleem Sana; 35-year-old batter Ravinderpal Singh, whose previous T20I had come in 2022; and batting allrounder Rayyan Pathan.
    Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, and Dilpreet Bajwa are the only players aged under 30 in the side.

    Tajinder Singh, Aaditya Varadharajan, Ammar Khalid, Jatinder Matharu and Parveen Kumar have been named as reserves but only Tajinder will travel with the team.

    Those who were left out from the squad that played against USA were Srimantha Wijeyeratne, Uday Bhagwan, Nikhil Dutta and Yuvraj Samra.

    This is the first time Canada are participating in the T20 World Cup. They will play in the tournament opener against USA in Dallas. India, Pakistan and Ireland are the other teams in their group.
