The CBC documentary 'Corruption, Crime and Cricket' broadcast on 10 April 2026 included the existence of a recorded telephonic conversation involving former Cricket Canada coach Khurram Chohan that the documentary's producers said was relevant to the ACU's match-fixing probe. CBC declined to publish the full audio in the broadcast, citing legal and procedural reasons; the recording has been provided in full to ICC officials.
The Chohan recording is the second of the three main allegations the CBC documentary made against Cricket Canada governance. The first was the match-specific fifth-over allegation involving captain Dilpreet Bajwa; the third was the selection-pressure claim by former coach Pubudu Dassanayake.
The Chohan recording's contents have not been publicly released. CBC characterised the recording as containing statements that warranted ACU review; the producers cited legal and procedural reasons for not publishing the full audio. The recording has been provided in full to ICC officials. Chohan, in a statement through counsel, has said the recording has been mischaracterised by CBC's editing and is considering legal action against the broadcaster.
The ACU's investigation has not formally charged Chohan or anyone else as of early May 2026.

Multiple franchises
8 May 2026
The IPL's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) submitted a formal report to the BCCI in May 2026 flagging "certain anomalies" observed across the league stage: unauthorised persons had been seen in the team dugout, on the team bus, and at team hotels during IPL matches in apparent breach of anti-corruption Standard Operating Procedures. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed the report publicly and warned that "very stringent action" would be taken if violations continued. Separately, the BCCI tightened protocols after reports that certain franchise owners had been seen mingling with players in restricted areas — a specific interaction prohibited under the anti-corruption framework.
Various county sides
1865-08-01
Despite MCC's attempts to reduce gambling on cricket through the 1840s and 1850s, county cricket in the 1860s still operated in a culture where betting was widespread and where allegations of arranged results circulated freely among those closest to the game. Several county fixtures of the decade generated suspicion among contemporaries that the outcome had been agreed in advance, though the absence of formal investigation meant that no players were ever charged.
