Among Indians, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh will be seen in action as a marquee player for the Brampton Wolves, along with right-arm seamer Jaskarandeep Singh Buttar, who will play for the Mississauga Panthers.
These two will be the only Indian players featuring in the Global T20 Canada 2023. BCCI has strict policies regarding Indian players featuring in foreign leagues, which is why it is rare to see a major Indian contingent in the various T20 leagues around the world.
Both Harbhajan and Jaskarandeep, the two Indians featuring in GT20 Canada 2023, are from Punjab. While Harbhajan has been a legend of the game, picking up more than 700 international wickets, Jaskarandeep has had a relatively quieter career. He has played for India A as well as for Deccan Chargers in the IPL and has 26 T20 wickets to his name.
Jaskarandeep was last seen in action in Indian domestic cricket in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in March 2022.
