10-10 Knockout round-arm softball cricket in Canada: Captain Riaz Kadir confident Assassins would win Dassie 10-10 again

Riaz Kadir, captain of the Assassins team, has expressed confidence that his team would win this year’s Dassie and Friends Production 10-10 Knockout round-arm softball one-day extravaganza on Saturday, May 21st at Keele Top facility in North York, Toronto. According to Kadir, the team has been preparing for the second edition of this tournament.

Assassins claimed a comprehensive victory over Challengers last year at the aforementioned venue, and Kadir has said the team is coming with that same level of motivation.
“I [am] confident of winning the competition again. I know it would be competitive, knowing other teams coming out to win too, but we are eager to make an impression again,” flamboyant right-handed batsman Kadir has declared.

Kadir explained that the guys played with great excitement last year, but remembering Bujan was very saddening. He reckoned that once his players compete to the best of their abilities, the team is bound to repeat last year’s success.
“It is about smart cricket. We might have few changes, as some players (are) going (to) switch to other teams, but I am still optimistic that we can be the victorious side on May 21st,” the Berbician Kadir related.
Reflecting on what had transpired in 2021, Kadir said the team performed outstandingly throughout the day, and demonstrated its strength in every department. He is predicting the same commitment.
In that final, which was reduced to a six-over contest due to rain, Assassins surpassed Challengers’ moderate 58-2. Pugnacious left-handed batsman Avish Rukhram led the way with a dashing and unbeaten 53.
Meanwhile, organizer Damodar Daesrath has also notified that the stage is set for this one-day event. He is confident of experiencing an eventful day, and thanks the teams in advance for their participation.
Eight teams are set to vie for monetary prizes in what should be some fascinating encounters. The winning finalist would collect Cdn $2,000 and a trophy, while the losing finalist would take home Cdn $500 and a trophy as well.
Daesrath, a former Guyana first-class captain, who also represented Canada at the highest level, has extended gratitude to the tourney’s two main sponsors: ALARM TECHZ and KP Employment Solutions INC.
The action is slated to bowl off at 09:30am.
This tournament would be played in memory of Johnny Bujan, who died in a vehicle accident in Trinidad and Tobago in 2016 at the age of 48. He was a former Canada Cricket Manager and co-owner of Brampton Masters Cricket Club, which has won several championships in the annual Toronto and District Cricket Association competitions.
