Former Australia captain Steve Smith (Toronto) and vice-captain David Warner (Winnipeg) return to action after a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa that earned them one-year bans from Cricket Australia — although they are allowed to play club cricket overseas. Each of the five domestic teams features four Canadians. The number of Canadians is expected to rise in future years. The Canadian teams are coached by Jamaica’s Donovan Miller (Vancouver), Trinidad’s Phil Simmons (Toronto), Pakistan’s Waqar Younis (Winnipeg), Australia’s Tom Moody (Montreal) and Pakistan’s Mohammad Akram (Edmonton).
