Watch | Foster Heads to Canada for Coaching Stint

 

James Foster has set off for Canada ahead of the Global T20 Canada tournament, which begins on Thursday in Toronto. The inaugral Twenty20 competition six teams battle it out and wicket-keeper, James Foster, will be part of it.

Fozzy has taken up the role of Assistant Coach at Vancouver Knight and will be using the experience to build his coaching CV for life after cricket. Having spent much of the winter coaching in the Bangladesh Premier League with the Khulna Titans alongside Head Coach Mahela Jayawardene and gaining coaching experience with Andy Flower and Paul Farbrace with respective England teams, the 38-year-old is looking to broaden his horizons as he reaches the latter stages of his playing career.

He spoke to Essex Cricket TV before setting off for Canada and his first game of the tournament against Toronto Nationals on Thursday.
