Canada Super 60 season 2 returns to BC Place Stadium

The Canada Super 60 league is set to return to Vancouver's iconic BC Place Stadium. The second season of the league has been announced. This time, the league will be played from September 29 to October 4. Organizers say that the league will once again see the combination of the game of cricket with entertainment, cultural activities and concerts. League organizer Yuvraj Singh, iconic former international cricketer, says that the first season was successful and we are happy that we are now going ahead with the second season.

Yuvraj Singh:

"After the success of last year's inaugural season, I am truly delighted to share that Canada Super 60 is returning for Season 2. The response from fans, players, and the global cricket community was incredibly encouraging, and it was clear that the world took notice of what we are building here.

This year, we are even more eager to establish Canada Super 60 as a marquee event in the global cricket calendar. It is a league that not only entertains but also creates meaningful opportunities for young cricketers, both men and women, from Canada to rub shoulders with some of the game's greats.

Personally, I am very excited to be back at BC Place. It is a truly unique venue, and playing under the roof, in front of such passionate fans, makes this experience very special."

BC's Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport Minister Anne Kang expressed happiness over the return of the league, saying that it is a good opportunity to host world-class players, coaches and spectators at a world-class stadium.

Anne Kang:

"We're delighted to welcome the Canada Super 60 League and cricket fans back to BC Place. Hosting this event is an exciting opportunity to welcome players, coaches and spectators to our world-class facilities and to showcase our beautiful province to the world. Through events such as Super 60, we will continue building B.C.'s reputation as a destination for sport as part of the Province's Look West Tourism Sector Action Plan."

BC Place General Manager Chris May:

"Welcoming Canada Super 60 cricket back to BC Place is incredibly meaningful to us and reflects our commitment to broadening the range of sporting events hosted at the stadium." "The return of Super 60 reinforces BC Place's growing role as a home for Canada's cricketing community and its rich, joyful culture. If last year's showcase is any indication, we can once again expect days of an electric atmosphere celebrating this global sport."

Shorter Format:

The league consists of 10 over matches (T-10 League) and last year Brampton Blitz won the championship in the men's competition while Toronto Sixers won the women's league. Both the teams will try to defend their titles this time too. Last year, Shikhar Dhawan, Surah Raina, Martin Guptill, Moeen Ali, and many other international cricketers were seen playing in this league. An official release said that this year, the FIFA World Cup matches are to be played at BC Place Stadium and the Canada Super 60 matches at this ground further strengthens the historical stature of this stadium as a world class multipurpose arena.
