In May 2018, Cricket Canada announced that the inaugural edition of the tournament would start on 28 June, with the final being held on 15 July 2018.[6] Vancouver Knights won the tournament, beating Cricket West Indies B Team by seven wickets in the final.[7]
The 2019 league began on 25 July, with the final match taking place on 11 August.[8] The second-round game between Montreal Tigers and Toronto Nationals on August 7, 2019, was delayed for two hours in a protest over unpaid wages; some pay issues date back to the 2018 tournament. The protest occurred even though Toronto Nationals captain Yuvraj Singh's fundraiser for his YouWeCan Foundation, had been hosted two days earlier by League organizers.[1] The third season of the tournament, scheduled to be held in 2020, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
