Canadian law enforcement is investigating gang-related threats to Canadian cricket team players amid allegations of corruption and match-fixing against the sport's governing body.
The probe, led by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), follows a months-long investigation by CBC News that raised questions about the role of Cricket Canada's former and current management in potential match-fixing linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Cricket Canada has been in turmoil in recent months amid allegations of financial mismanagement and underwent a court-ordered vote that resulted in a new president being elected earlier this month.
Indo-Canadian Arvinder Khosa, who resides in Surrey, British Columbia, was named in the CBC report and dismissed the personal allegations as 'political propaganda' against him.
The allegations encompass the March T20 World Cup in India, where a national team player was interviewed by the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Unit.
Cricket Canada said it 'takes these matters seriously and remains focused on strengthening governance and supporting the growth of the game.'
