"The International Cricket Council (ICC) is investigating Cricket Canada over allegations of match corruption, including the team's loss to New Zealand at the recent T20 World Cup hosted by India and Sri Lanka."
"Suspicion is focused on the fifth over bowled by captain Dilpreet Bajwa during New Zealand's chase, where he started with a no-ball, bowled a wide, and ended up conceding 15 runs."
"Cricket Canada said it was treating the matter with utmost importance, stating that recent promotional material alludes to allegations related to organised crime and match-fixing issues."
The ICC is investigating Cricket Canada for match corruption allegations, particularly concerning a T20 World Cup game against New Zealand. The match, which Canada lost by eight wickets, is under scrutiny due to a documentary by CBC that raised serious accusations of corruption and poor governance. Specific focus is on a questionable fifth over bowled by captain Dilpreet Bajwa. Additionally, a phone call involving former coach Khurram Chohan suggests pressure from board members to influence player selection. Cricket Canada is addressing these allegations seriously and is committed to a thorough review.
