Overview
- The ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit has launched a formal investigation into Canada’s February 17th World Cup match against New Zealand and has questioned captain Dilpreet Bajwa.
- The inquiry focuses on a fifth over in Chennai in which Bajwa began with a no-ball, followed with a wide, and conceded 15 runs.
- CBC’s The Fifth Estate, which aired Friday, reports that men claiming ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi network threatened players at a Surrey, B.C., restaurant in July 2025 to push support for Bajwa’s spot and captaincy.
- Sources cited in the film say current Cricket Canada president Arvinder Khosa helped drive Bajwa’s rapid rise, a claim Khosa denies following his April 9 court-ordered election to the post.
- Delta Police say they are investigating reported threats and have referred parts of the case to the RCMP, while Cricket Canada pledges cooperation and notes that no charges or ICC findings have been announced.
