To perform at the inaugural Canada Super60 League is like coming full circle. This tournament represents everything I believe in innovation, passion, and breaking boundaries. Yuvraj paaji's vision to revolutionise cricket with this format is inspiring, and I'm honoured to be part of this historic moment that will put Canadian cricket on the world map."
