Pubudu Dassanayake's Cricket Canada Selection-Pressure Claim

Former Cricket Canada coach Pubudu Dassanayake claimed on camera in the CBC documentary 'Corruption, Crime and Cricket' that he had been threatened by Cricket Canada with contract termination if certain players were not selected. The claim is the third strand of the documentary's allegations against Cricket Canada governance and points at administrative interference rather than at on-field fixing.
