TORONTO - Canada and the U.S. will renew their cricket rivalry this summer in the Auty Cup, which was first contested in 1844.
Pending final approval by Canadian health authorities, the 50-over series will be played in Canada from July 26-30 at a venue to be determined later.
The historic series, which resumed in 2011 after a 17-year absence, will follow the ICC Menâs T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier, which Canada is hosting from July 17-23.
Canada will use the Auty Cup series to prepare for its ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League series while the U.S. looks ahead to the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 series in the same month.
