ICC suspends Cricket Canada due to corruption allegations

The ICC suspended Cricket Canada from ICC membership effective immediately due to serious breaches of its membership obligations, as stated in an announcement made in Ahmedabad. This decision follows allegations of corruption within Cricket Canada, highlighted in a recent documentary that raised concerns about governance, match manipulation, and threats to players and officials. Despite the suspension, the ICC stated that Canadian teams will remain eligible to participate in ICC events and that Cricket Canada will still receive financial support for approved national team programs. The ICC will monitor progress on conditions that must be met for reinstatement, overseen by the ICC Normalisation Committee.
