Markram wary of Canada threat as Proteas prepare for World Cup opener
Cape Times
|February 09, 2026
CRICKET in Canada has long only been associated with John Davison, the son of two Australian teachers, who belted the then-fastest World Cup century way back at Centurion in 2003.
Davison is ironically coach of the Italy team at this T20 World Cup, but will undoubtedly, along with four million Canadians back home, tune into the North American team's opener against the Proteas in Ahmedabad today (3:30pm start).
Cricket is the fastest growing sport in Canada, having boomed over the last decade, driven by immigration from South Asia and the Caribbean and also the co-hosting of the last T20 World Cup with the US and West Indies two years ago.
Proteas captain Aiden Markram is, therefore, not taking any chances when his team come up against the plucky Canadians, especially as the 2024 runners-up are coming in cold as the two nations have yet to face each other in the shortest format.
