The ICC has announced the fixtures for the 2009-2010 Intercontinental Cup.  Canada will play three 4-day matches (2 at home, 1 in UAE).

They will travel to the UAE in February to take on Afghanistan, before playing host to Zimbabwe and Ireland in the late summer.

Canada has never won the cup, but have made it to the finals twice.  First in 2004 when they lost to Scotland and again in 2007 – losing out to Ireland.
