Profile
Ishwar Maraj is a useful left-handed upper-order batsman who
excels at finding the gaps and keeping the scoreboard moving in
one day-cricket. He is particularly strong behind the wicket,
using a mixture of cuts, glances and deflections to work the ball
around, but can also drive well, and has a solid defence. Before
coming to Canada he played high standard club cricket in Trinidad
and also has coached and played professionally in the U.K. He had
a strong showing in the 2001 ICC Trophy with three
half-centuries, none more important that the 50 in the win over
Scotland that took Canada to the World Cup. He is a reliable
field and an occasional right-arm spinner. He captains Overseas
CC in the Toronto and District League. He carried his bat for 53 in Canada's
World Cup match against South Africa, a painstaking innings that set a
record for the slowest World Cup half-century (Dave Liverman 2002, 2003).
