An attacking left-handed batsman, Tyson Gordon has yet to play an ODI for Canada, but has represented his native Jamaica in List-A cricket. Gordon is a clean striker of the ball, but is just as likely to settle down for a sensible innings as he is to try to hit the ball out of the park. He is 28 already. but with spots up for grabs in the middle-order, the World Cup presents a golden opportunity for Gordon to cement a place for himself.
