Left-arm orthodox spinner Saad brings a wealth of experience to the Canada team, with top-order batter Aaron Johnson and left-arm seamer Kaleem Sana also expected to feature heavily in a side with just four players under the age of 30.
There was no room in the squad for Nikhil Dutta or Srimantha Wijeyeratne, while Tajinder Singh travels as a reserve.
Canada's first match at the T20 World Cup comes against USA in Dallas on June 1.
The Americans won a bilateral series between the teams in early April.
The team is coached by former Sri Lankan and Canadian international Pubudu Dassanayake, having taken the reins in 2022.
