Cricket Canada is facing serious allegations of corruption, including a suspected spot-fixing incident during a group-stage match against New Zealand in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 held in Chennai, India. A documentary titled ‘Corruption, Crime and Cricket’ aired by CBC's The Fifth Estate, claims that senior officials within Cricket Canada engaged in malpractice regarding governance and team selection. Notably, it alleges that the Bishnoi Gang has influenced the selection of cricket administrators and players, with threats made to a national team member to ensure certain players were not dropped from the team. This situation has created an atmosphere of fear, leading some officials to seek police protection. In a surprising move, Cricket Canada replaced captain Nicholas Kirton with Dilpreet Bajwa shortly before the tournament, a decision that shocked players and coaches alike. Bajwa's performance in a match against New Zealand raised eyebrows, prompting questioning by the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit. Concerns about player safety and integrity in the sport are now at the forefront of this unfolding scandal.
