CALGARY, AB — September 4, 2026: The ANP Canada Alberta and Khudai Khidmatgar Organization Alberta are set to officially announce their new cricket teams for upcoming cricket tournaments in Calgary. The announcement will be made at a special community event aimed at bringing cricket players, supporters and community members together.

The event will be held on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at West Wind Prairie Park Cricket Field, located at the south end of the park by 54 Avenue NE, Calgary, Alberta.

According to the event organizers, the gathering will provide community members with an opportunity to meet the newly formed cricket players, learn more about the teams and view their new team kits ahead of their participation in upcoming cricket tournaments in Calgary.
