Ontario will play one 50 over match on Saturday July 17th and one T20 match on Sunday July 18th against Georgia on this short trip. I will be posting scores, pictures and videos during the trip here and on twitter (depending on internet access). I’ll have a full recap of the tour posted early next week.
Also, take a look at the newly updated OCA website. It’s still a work in progress, so feel free to leave your feedback.

Good to hear that Canada’s biggest cricket province wants to give its players more exposure to international cricket through tours. However, this needs to be integrated into the national program with Cricket Canada and OCA working together. We should see OCA tours used as stepping stones into the National Championships (Inter-provincials) which lead to selection to Canada ‘A’ and finally to the men’s national team.
As far as the OCA website, we hear more news out of Nova Scotia Cricket Association. We definitely need more information from Ontario. Best of luck.
