John Davison is nearly 40 years old and last played a FC game in 2007.

Rizwan Cheema is the next big hitting talent from Canada.

Agreed Rizwan Cheema is shaping up to be a great player and you can always tell with players from associate teams whether they're really good players or not with how well they play against the major teams. He's proven he's decent with 2 half centuries against the West Indies and then whacking 68 against Sri Lanka. his bowling pretty impressive too, he bowled 3/31 off 10 overs against West Indies.

In my opinion John Davison is geting old and hasn't got much left in him, as good as he is.
