The ICC has launched a probe into Cricket Canada over alleged anti-corruption breaches, including a T20 World Cup match against New Zealand in Chennai. Triggered by a documentary, the investigation examines suspicious gameplay, governance lapses, and claims of undue pressure in team selection, alongside broader integrity concerns in Canadian cricket.
New Delhi: The ICC is investigating Cricket Canada for alleged breach of its anti-corruption code, including the national team's loss to New Zealand in a T20 World Cup match held on February 17 in Chennai, a media report has stated.
The game at Chepauk, which Canada lost by eight wickets, has come under scrutiny from the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) following allegations of corruption highlighted in a recently-aired documentary.
Electing to bat, Canada had posted 173/4, before New Zealand chased it down in just 15.1 overs. Glenn Phillips (59 not out off 39 balls) and Rachin Ravindra (76 not out off 36) sealed the win to confirm the Black Caps' Super Eight berth.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the ACU is probing multiple allegations linked to Cricket Canada and "two active investigations that span elements of Cricket Canada and allegations of breaches of the ICC's anti-corruption code at international and domestic level as well".
