The league has gone through something of a revamp since its last edition. Winnipeg Hawks, who won the league last time it was held, no longer take part, while Edmonton Royals are also absent. Their place is taken by Surrey Jaguars and Mississauga Panthers. Each side will include two marquee players and three Canadian players from the national side, as well as three emerging Canadian players, with 25 matches to be played across the 18 days. The GT20's return adds further strain on a cricketing calendar already groaning under the weight of several T20 leagues. It will clash with Pakistan's two-Test series against Sri Lanka in July, with 14 Pakistan players picked up across the six franchises. The PCB has insisted that players chosen for the Test series will not go to the GC20.

Hat on, sunglasses on, he looked like a social cricketer who couldn't wait to get to the pub, but his bowling still had all the guile and competitiveness. He sought to cramp David Warner, who tried the switch hit. As Warner remonstrated for a wide call, Gayle joked to him about not knowing the rules. He then nearly had Warner stumped down the leg side although Nicholas Pooran failed to collect the ball. Gayle walked all the way up to Warner and touched his pocket, perhaps to suggest the ball might have flicked the pocket on the way to cause the error. With the last ball, he had Mitchell Marsh caught at mid-off and ran towards the departing batter and gave him a bear hug from the back. He walked off with a smile. Gayle came back to finish off the formalities of the game. "I think Chris has changed the game for all opening batsmen around the world in all three formats. One, he's got a lot of size on his side, and a lot of power on his side, so he's able to pick up three-pound bats, which we can't, but the way that he came out, from his career, from the get-go, he just put fear in the bowler's minds and he was able to intimidate, and he's had a great career, I respect that immensely, and I'm just proud to watch him and be a part of a team as well, I m...
