ICC launches investigation into Cricket Canada over match-fixing allegations

Friday, 17 April 2026, 12:01 · 1 min read

The International Cricket Council (ICC, cricket's global governing body) has opened an investigation into Cricket Canada following allegations of match corruption aired in a documentary by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Under scrutiny is Canada's defeat to New Zealand in Chennai during the recent T20 World Cup, with suspicion centring on a costly fifth over bowled by captain Dilpreet Bajwa that yielded 15 runs; New Zealand ultimately chased Canada's total of 173 with ease, winning by eight wickets. The ICC is also examining a phone call involving former Canada coach Khurram Chohan, who alleges that senior Cricket Canada board members pressured him over player selection — raising broader concerns about governance and possible links to organised crime within the national cricket set-up.
