Canada at the World Cup

Canada have participated at the cricket world cup five times since their first in 1979.

Canada's first World Cup match was on Jun 9, 1979 v Pakistan at Headingley, Leeds
Canada's best performance has been reaching the semi-finals in 1995, after their only ever World Cup victory on Feb 11, 2003 against Bangladesh at Kingsmead, Durban. In that match Canada beat Bangladesh by 60 runs.
The major highlight for Canada at the World Cup is John Davison's hundred from just 67 balls against the West Indies in the 2003 World Cup.
The 2007 squad included a forklift driver, accountant, salesman, and teacher. There were just two professional players among the squad.
Anderson Cummins is only the second player to represent two different teams in the World Cup (West Indies 1991-92 and Canada 2007) - the other was Kepler Wessels (Australia and South Africa).
Canada had the oldest team in the 2007 competition with an average age of over 31. They had the only two 40-plus players of the tournament: George Codrington and Anderson Cummins. Cummins was the West Indies highest wicket-taker in the 1992 World Cup.
