Circket News - New Canda captain

Canada has just gotten themselves a new captain named Ashish Bagai. The Delhi-born wicketkeeper-batsman took on the skipper's responsibilities after John Davison relinquished the duties following the World Cup. Bagai, player of the tournament at the ICC World Cricket League Division 1 in Nairobi earlier this year, heads into this week's final against Ireland at Grace Road in Leicester looking to recapture the form which saw him score two centuries and average over 86 in the Kenyan capital. The Canada squad arrived in England on Wednesday and spent a few days at the national academy in Loughborough. Their preparations were disrupted by rain at the end of last week, but they did manage a game against an ECB XI on Friday before making use of the indoor facility on Saturday. Pick leaves his post at the conclusion of the Intercontinental Cup final to resume his role as England Under-19 coach, and is confident he is leaving Canadian cricket in a healthy state. Canadian cricket is almost on the launchpad, just waiting for the fuel to help it lift off. The fuel in this case is an injection of money.
