On December 10, 2025, the Board of Directors reviewed the committee report that identified major governance and compliance breaches and resolved to terminate the contract. The dismissal stems from Mr. Khan’s failure to disclose prior criminal charges—an act that constituted a serious breach of trust—along with violations of organizational bylaws related to his contract. The investigation also found conduct that posed a reputational risk to both Sport Canada and the ICC.

Cricket Canada President Amjad Bajwa stated that the decision was necessary to safeguard the integrity, credibility, and stability of the organization.

More updates to follow.

Cricket Canada today announced that Mr. Salman Khan has been suspended with full pay and benefits from his role as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

“This step is non-disciplinary and has been taken solely to preserve the integrity of the organization and to ensure procedural fairness,” said Amjad Bajwa, President of Cricket Canada.

An independent special committee, working in consultation with the Executive Committee and external legal counsel, will conduct a comprehensive review.

Cricket Canada remains fully committed to its vision, mission, players, and to the communities and partners across the Canadian cricket ecosystem.

No further details will be provided at this time as the review process continues.
