ICC Suspends Cricket Canada's Membership Over Corruption, Governance Failures and Match-Fixing Links
Cricket Canada / ICC
2 June 2026
The ICC suspended Cricket Canada's membership with immediate effect on 2 June 2026, following "serious breaches of membership obligations" exposed by a CBC Fifth Estate documentary that alleged match-fixing links to the Lawrence Bishnoi criminal gang, systematic selection interference, governance failures, and a cover-up by the Cricket Canada board. Canadian national teams were permitted to continue playing in ICC events; an ICC normalisation committee was appointed to oversee reinstatement.
