Canadian cricket tours of England have taken place only sporadically and few matches of first-class status have been played.
The next visit was after World War I in the 1922 season when the Canadians played 11 minor matches, won none and lost four.
Canada won three of their four group matches, played on club grounds in the west Midlands, beating Bangladesh, Fiji and Malaysia, but losing to Denmark.
However, as finalists they had already qualified for the World Cup, held between the ICC Trophy semi-finals and final.
John Valentine, a left-arm medium-pace bowler, dismissed Majid Khan, Mike Brearley and Rick Darling, returning figures of 9–3–18–1, 7–2–20–1 and 3–0–28–1.
