The Yorkton Yorkers have undoubtedly turned some heads in the Saskatchewan Cricket League.
Not even a full month into their first season in the league, the Yorkers were invited by the Cavalier Sports and Social club to take part in a triangular T-20 tournament on June 29-30 at Douglas Park in Regina.
"It's a great honour for us to be asked to play in this tournament," said Yorkers team captain Faisal Anwar.
The Yorkers will suit up against the Regina Cavaliers and a Winnipeg-based team in the tournament.
"It will be a venue of skill, talent, and friendships for years to come," said Khurum H., who is the president of the Cavalier Sports and Social Club. "We envisage that we will foster a strong bond between the participating clubs and our respective communities through the camaraderie of sportsmanship. This year respective teams will be competing for personal achievements, city pride and of course bragging rights for next year."
