The International Cricket Council has suspended Cricket Canada’s membership, but Canadian teams are still eligible to compete in sanctioned events.
Cricket’s governing body announced in a release Monday after its board meeting in Ahmedabad, India, that Cricket Canada is suspended immediately due to “serious breaches of its membership obligations.” The release did not provide details on Cricket Canada’s violations.
The announcement comes after amid an ICC investigation into allegations of corruption against Cricket Canada that were raised in the CBC documentary “Corruption, Crime and Cricket” earlier this year.
The ICC said the decision to allow Canadian teams to compete during the suspension was made to ensure players were not hurt by issues affecting Cricket Canada.
Additionally, Cricket Canada will have limited access to financial resources for its national teams from a controlled funding mechanism under ICC oversight.
The ICC said it will provide Cricket Canada with a set of reinstatement conditions, and reinstatement will be contingent on the organization meeting the conditions to the satisfaction of the ICC’s board.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 1, 2026.
