ICC suspends Cricket Canada membership, national teams still eligible to compete

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.
