Canada needs top level competition and lots of it in order to compete successfully at the Cricket World Cup in South Africa in 2003. The Red Stripe competition is just an appetizer for the tremendous amount of preparation needed by Canada.

Canada's preparation is compounded by the fact that the 2003 Cricket World Cup will be held in our winter or off-season.

Canada desperately needs supporters and sponsors for our dedicated players and volunteers, all of who make tremendous sacrifices to promote the sport we love.
