Nintendo of Canada announced today that Canadian cricket superstar Saad Bin Zafar is the brand’s newest ambassador.
A celebrated Pakistani-Canadian all-rounder, Zafar captained Canada’s Men’s T20 team in 2024 and is currently preparing to compete in India and Sri Lanka in 2026.
A lifelong Nintendo fan, Zafar is excited to share what the Nintendo Switch 2 system means to him both on and off the cricket field. Whether unwinding at home with a friendly Nintendo Switch Sports match or staying connected with his nieces and nephews through online Mario Kart World races while traveling, Zafar finds that Nintendo Switch 2 helps him stay close to the people who matter most. For Saad, it’s not just about gaming – it’s about sharing moments, laughter, and fun with family and friends, wherever he is.
Launched in June 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 system brings friends and family together through play, whether they’re in the same room or miles apart. With a growing library of games, Nintendo Switch 2 offers different ways to play, compete, and share experiences – helping to make every moment spent with family and friends memorable.
Zafar will begin sharing his Nintendo story in the coming weeks.
