The City is hosting the Global T20 (GT20) Cricket Tournament this summer. GT20 is an annual cricket tournament featuring the top North American cricket players and some of the biggest names in cricket from around the world.
Brampton has 12 major cricket fields and four minor-sized fields. The City also has three large cricket projects underway in 2019.
Two new full-size cricket fields are being constructed in the 407/Dixie area and at Gore Meadows Community Centre. In addition, the Teramoto Park cricket field is getting LED lighting, which will cover the entire field, a first for a full-sized cricket field in Canada.
