ICC suspends Cricket Canada over governance, corruption concerns
Tos:
Islamabad: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended the membership of Cricket Canada following allegations of corruption, misconduct, and serious governance shortcomings.
The decision comes after months of scrutiny, with the ICC citing “serious breaches of membership rules” and concerns over the board’s administrative and financial practices.
In a statement, the ICC said Cricket Canada had failed to meet several governance requirements expected of member boards.
Last month, the ICC froze the board’s funding and gave it six months to address the identified shortcomings.
According to an ICC letter, Cricket Canada lacks an effective governance framework and has failed to submit required financial statements.
Despite suspending the board’s membership, the ICC has allowed Canada’s national cricket team to continue participating in official international competitions.The move reflects an effort to protect players and the development of the sport while holding administrators accountable for governance failures.
