Sukhjinder Rana (born 17 February 1969) is a former international cricketer who represented the Canadian national side between 1994 and 2002. He was born in India.
A left-arm medium-pace bowler, Rana made his international debut for Canada in September 1994, in a match against the United States in New York City.[1] In October 1996, he played in the Shell/Sandals Trophy, the West Indian domestic competition in which Canada were competing as a guest team. He took three wickets from his four matches, including 2/23 against Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Early the following year, Rana was selected in the Canadian squad for the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia, the qualification tournament for the 1999 World Cup.[3] He featured in six of his team's seven matches, and took seven wickets, behind only Barry Seebaran for Canada.[4] However, five of those came in the same match, against Fiji, where he finished with figures of 5/29 from 9.1 overs and was named man of the match.[5] After the 1997 ICC Trophy, Rana made only occasional appearances for Canada, playing games against Bermuda, the Netherlands, and India (the last of those being a warm-up match prior to the 1997 Sahara Cup). His last international matches came at the 2002 Americas Championship in Argentina.[1]
