A superb performance too by Sheridan College – we look forward to seeing them in March.

McGill University has a unique position in sports history in the USA and Canada, having played key roles in the beginnings of football, basketball and hockey.

It has also had a long history of cricket on campus, so I am happy to have worked with Muhammed Tayab Zafar to begin McGill’s modern cricket team, and its gratifying to see it develop.”
