YUVRAJ SAMRA

Yuvraj Samra has emerged as one of the most exciting young batters in Associate cricket. Armed with elegant strokeplay and a fearless approach, the Canadian left-handed opener has demonstrated that he can both build an innings or take the attack to world-class bowling line-ups. Born on September 29, 2006 in Brampton, Ontario, the 20-year-old Samra has developed into one of Canada’s brightest prospects.

In February 2026, Samra became the youngest ever World Cup centurion, smashing 110 vs New Zealand in Chennai in the men's T20 World Cup. In the process he also became the first player from an Associate nation to notch up a T20 World Cup century.

Samra's rise on the international stage since his debut in T20Is in 2025 has been rapid.  He matches consistency with quick scoring ability.

In the inuagural ETPL season in 2026, Samra scored 212 runs in 10 innings, with a highest score of 73 and a strike rate of 157.03.  

Samra is cool under pressure and naturally aggressive, with a temperament and shot-making ability to thrive in the shortest format. He is regarded as one of the most promising young batters in world cricket.
