The International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Unit opened a formal investigation into Canada's 2026 T20 World Cup group-stage fixture against New Zealand after a 10 April CBC documentary, "Corruption, Crime and Cricket", aired allegations of match-fixing and broader governance failure inside Cricket Canada. The probe centres on the fifth over of New Zealand's chase, bowled by Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa — who had been appointed only three weeks before the tournament — and on a recorded telephonic conversation involving former Canadian coach Khurram Chohan.
