Jaskaran Singh

Jaskaran Singh Buttar is a dynamic right-arm fast-medium bowler who has solidified his role as a frontline pace option for Canada heading into the 2026 T20 World Cup. Known for his ability to extract bounce and swing early in the innings, Buttar has become a vital component of the Canadian bowling attack since his international breakthrough. His performances in the domestic circuit, particularly in the Global T20 Canada, showcased his knack for picking up crucial wickets at a low economy rate, which eventually paved the way for his national team selection. Standing as a reliable death-overs specialist, he brings much-needed tactical depth to the squad, often being the go-to bowler for captain Dilpreet Bajwa when the pressure is highest.

As Canada prepares for the 2026 tournament in India and Sri Lanka, Buttar’s role is expected to be pivotal on the varied subcontinental surfaces. During the successful 2025 Americas Regional Final, he demonstrated exceptional discipline, contributing significantly to the team's unbeaten run and automatic qualification. Beyond his bowling prowess, Buttar is a handy lower-order batter capable of clearing the ropes, adding valuable balance to the tail-end of the lineup. With a career defined by steady growth and a high cricket IQ, he enters this World Cup as one of the experienced heads in the pace department, looking to test some of the world's best batting units in Group D.
