Cricket has surged in popularity in Canada, fueled by the country’s growing diversity. To support this trend, No Frills® and MaxiMD —discount grocery retail brands owned by Loblaws Companies — have announced a partnership with Cricket Canada. This collaboration aims to invest in and further develop the sport’s growth across the country.
“As Canada’s fastest-growing sport, cricket has captured the hearts of many and brings communities together through the power of teamwork, passion and a shared love for the game,” said Melanie Singh, the president of the hard discount division at Loblaw Companies. “We look forward to working closely with Cricket Canada to bring customers and fans closer to the sport they love and ensuring our contributions make a meaningful and lasting impact.”
This partnership establishes No Frills® as a key sponsor for select international matches organized by Cricket Canada on Canadian soil. The inaugural event under this new partnership will be the No Frills® T20 Cup, an international tri-nation T20 cricket series featuring Canada, Nepal and Oman. Set to take place later this month at the Maple Leaf Cricket Ground in King City, Ontario; this series promises to deliver thrilling cricket action to fans across Canada and further elevate the sport’s profile in North America.
Amjad Bajwa, president of Cricket Canada, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “Cricket Canada is thrilled to partner with iconic Canadian grocery brands that are so entrenched in the daily life of so many Canadians. No Frills® and MaxiMD share our commitment to community and accessibility,” he said. “This exciting new partnership represents a significant step in our mission to not only enhance our national teams and programs but also to grow the sport and help make cricket more accessible to Canadians from all walks of life.”
Cricket Canada, the official governing body for the sport in Canada, promotes the development of the game and is dedicated to fostering a vibrant cricketing community.
