Cricket Canada suspended by governing body due to 'serious breaches' of membership

After a serial of controversies and allegations of degeneracy and financial misdirection, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Cricket Canada’s rank.
The ICC cited the organisation’s “serious breaches of its membership obligations” in a statement on its website, following a board meeting in Ahmedabad, India, on Sunday.
In May, the sport’s Dubai-based international body froze Cricket Canada’s funding and gave the organization six months to get its house in order. At that time, an ICC letter said the organization lacked adequate governance systems and hadn’t filed audited financial statements.
Cricket Canada receives most of its funding from the ICC. In its 2024 financial report, on which an auditor had not signed off, the organization said the ICC had given it just over $3.6 million, or 63 per cent of that year's revenue.
The move follows a fifth estate investigation published in April that revealed broader allegations of corruption, financial mismanagement and attempts to fix parts of matches by major figures at Cricket Canada. Those accused deny the allegations.
The ICC said Monday that Canada’s national teams can continue to participate in ICC events during the suspension. However, funding for those programs will only be accessible under ICC oversight.
Cricket Canada will be required to meet a set of conditions, including addressing governance and administrative issues, in order to be considered for reinstatement.
