The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched an investigation into allegations of match-fixing during the recent T20 World Cup between Canada and New Zealand in India and Sri Lanka. The fifth over bowled by Canadian skipper Dilpreet Bajwa against New Zealand has come under scrutiny.
The ICC is investigating whether Bajwa was caught red-handed in the over, which saw the opposition score 15 runs.
Former Canada coach Pubudu Dassanayake, a Sri Lankan player, has also revealed that the board interfered in the selection of the 2024 World Cup team and threatened to fire him if he did not comply. Dassanayake has now filed a lawsuit against the administration of Cricket Canada.
In addition, an audio recording of another former coach, Khurram Chohan, has emerged, in which he claims that senior board members pressured him to select only the players they wanted.
