Two of Indian cricket’s most distinguished players are reuniting – this time off the pitch. Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan has joined the ownership group of the Vancouver Anchors, a men’s and women’s franchise competing in the Canada Super 60. He joins Nagendra “Naga” Siddoutam and Stockholm-based Anchor Sports AB, bringing international athletic experience and new energy to the league.
Zaheer will rejoin with close friend and long-time India teammate Yuvraj Singh, who is also the co-owner of Canada Super 60. The two shared changing rooms and made history together, including India’s 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory. They are now beginning a new chapter at Vancouver’s BC Place.
Their reunion is more than just nostalgia; it demonstrates a common commitment to promoting the game in Canada, providing opportunities for players from partner nations, and upgrading women’s cricket to a significant professional level.
Zaheer, one of the best fast bowlers of his generation, has extensive experience in high-performance cricket, team culture, and player development. His cooperation will contribute to the Anchors’ cricketing identity and strengthen routes for established and emerging players.
Anchor Sports AB’s ownership of both the men’s and women’s Vancouver franchises reflects a vision of equitable opportunity, sustainable investment, and long-term development in emerging cricket markets.
The acquisition of a Zaheer Khan-backed ownership group by Canada Super 60 is yet another strong expression of confidence in the league’s future.
Canada Super 60 Season 2 takes place at BC Place in Vancouver from September 29 to October 4, 2026, and will feature six franchises, 24 matches, and top men’s and women’s contests.
For cricket fans, the event provides a rare opportunity to watch Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan reunited at BC Place, not seeking another victory for India, but rather constructing the game’s next chapter in Canada.
