According to CulturalIQ’s 2022 report, cricket’s growth across Canada can largely be attributed to “immigration [to Canada] from cricket-playing countries.”
Specifically driven by what the report calls “the South Asian fandom, given the growth of immigrants arriving in Canada,” CulturalIQ also says that over one-quarter (28%) of its survey respondents identified themselves as superfans of the sport.
How is TD helping to support the growth of Cricket across Canada?
As the popularity of cricket continues to grow across Canada, the TD sponsorship of Cricket Canada will help support this growth through several new community engagement initiatives.
As Cricket Canada focuses on empowering communities and fostering inclusivity through sport, it also hopes to grow Canada’s existing cricket-loving community while welcoming new fans in the process.
Cricket Canada’s initiatives will be focused on two primary goals:
- Enhancing cricket’s grassroots development programs across Canada
- Improving the sport’s accessibility, popularity, and engagement among players, young fans, and long-time cricket enthusiasts
“This is more than just a sponsorship; it represents another significant step forward for our organization and the entire cricket community in Canada. With TD’s support, we are confident in our ability to enhance the cricketing experience for our national teams, players, and fans across the country, while also driving the growth and development of the sport at all levels,” said Amjad Bajwa, President of Cricket Canada.
