Most of Cricket Canada’s income is tied to ICC cash
The ICC has suspended funding to Cricket Canada for six months due to unresolved governance concerns, a blow that could hit an organization heavily dependent on ICC distributions. ESPNcricinfo reports the suspension was communicated earlier this week, but ongoing activities like national team and high-performance programs are expected to continue. Cricket Canada’s 2024 accounts show ICC support provided about 63% of total income. The decision follows recent integrity controversies, including an ACU investigation into Canada vs New Zealand.
