Canada Super60 2026: 5 biggest picks from the Player Draft

The Canada Super60 is set to return for its second season, with the tournament scheduled to be held at BC Place, Vancouver, from September 29 to October 4, 2026. The six participating franchises finalized their squads during the 2026 Canada Super60 Player Draft on July 21, adding several established T20 stars and promising Associate cricketers to their rosters.

Ahead of the draft, franchises were allowed to retain players and complete pre-draft signings. Several marquee names, including Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, Sam Billings, and Jonny Bairstow, were secured before the draft itself. During the player selection process, each team was permitted to pick one marquee player, two wildcards, four international players, five Canadian players, and three cricketers from Associate nations.

Here let us take a look five biggest picks from the player draft:

Tom Curran

Brampton Blitz strengthened their pace attack by signing Tom Curran as an international player for $35,000. The England all-rounder brings a wealth of experience, having claimed 280 wickets in 276 T20 matches. Although his performances in the recently concluded Vitality Blast 2026 were modest, Curran remains a proven performer in franchise cricket with his ability to contribute with both the ball and the bat. His experience in pressure situations makes him one of the most valuable additions to the tournament.
