Cricket Canada announces the successful conclusion of the arbitration initiated by Bombay Sports
Co. Ltd. under the 2019 Licence Agreement for GT20 Canada. On 29 July 2026, the Arbitrator
dismissed Bombay Sports’ claim in its entirety and upheld Cricket Canada’s Counterclaim.

The Award requires Bombay Sports to:

• Pay Cricket Canada USD 392,323.62, plus interest; and
• Return all GT20 Canada intellectual property and related materials within 14 days.

This dispute originated under the previous administration. Since its election, the current Board has
implemented significant governance and operational reforms, including the appointment of a new
legal team operating at a fraction of the cost incurred by the prior Board. These reforms have
strengthened Cricket Canada’s compliance posture and contributed to the efficient resolution of
legacy legal matters.

Cricket Canada confirms that it has received the reinstatement conditions issued by the International Cricket Council. The details of the document are strictly confidential and will not be released publicly. Cricket Canada has already undertaken extensive work to align fully with ICC expectations and is advancing rapidly toward meeting all reinstatement requirements. Over recent months, the organization has strengthened its governance systems, enhanced administrative processes, and increased transparency and accountability across all operational areas. Cricket Canada continues to work constructively with the ICC and remains fully committed to restoring its membership at the earliest opportunity. Our focus remains on safeguarding the integrity of the sport, supporting athletes and stakeholders, and ensuring a strong, sustainable future for cricket in Canada.

Cricket Canada is pleased to announce the formal issuance of national player contracts, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s renewed commitment to strengthening the high-performance environment for Canadian athletes.

This development represents the first time in nearly two years that national team players have received formal contracts. While these agreements should have been implemented earlier, the newly elected Board of Directors moved swiftly to address the gap and restore a professional, structured framework that prioritizes player welfare, stability, and organizational accountability.

Despite the financial challenges arising from ongoing ICC sanctions, the Board unanimously agreed that providing players with clear contractual protections and support could not be deferred.

Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago –
Cricket Canada’s U19 Women’s team has won its first-ever international series. The five-match T20I
rubber against Trinidad & Tobago U19 ended at 2-1 in Canada’s favour on Saturday, May 23, after rain
washed out both of the day’s two scheduled matches without a ball bowled. With the Canadians holding
a 2-1 lead going into Saturday — built on a historic first international victory on May 16 and a 45-run win
in the third T20I on May 19 — the abandonment confirmed an outcome that will mark the program’s
history.
It is the most consequential moment in Cricket Canada’s women’s U19 program to date. Eight days ago,
the team had never played an international match. Eight days later, having won seven of the nine
fixtures it completed across both international and club opposition, it returns home as series winners
and as the first Canadian U19 Women’s team to claim an overseas T20I series.

MATCH REPORT  |  CANADA U19 WOMEN’S TOUR OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Captain Leads From the Front: Canada U19 Women Take

Cricket Canada’s U19 Women’s team produced their most complete day of the inaugural tour of Trinidad & Tobago on Monday, May 18, sweeping a club doubleheader against the North Zone Cricket Academy with comprehensive wins of 35 and 48 runs. Harper Chalmers struck a brilliant 97 not out in the morning fixture, and Snigdha Malhotra returned career-best figures of 3/11 to dismantle North Zone’s chase in the afternoon at Queens Park Oval. The wins push Canada to three victories in four matches on tour.
Coming off the program’s first-ever international win against Trinidad & Tobago U19 on Saturday, the squad carried that momentum into the club arena. Across the two matches, Canada were tested in different ways — first asked to defend a big total, then asked to defend a modest one — and answered both questions convincingly.

Cricket Canada’s U19 Women’s team recorded the program’s first-ever international victory on Saturday, May 16, 2026, defeating Trinidad & Tobago U19 by 10 runs in the second of two T20 matches played on the opening day of Canada’s inaugural women’s U19 overseas tour.

TORONTO – Cricket Canada today concluded its Annual General Meeting (AGM), marking a pivotal moment in the organisation’s history with a sweeping set of governance reforms and the democratic election of a fully renewed Board of Directors.
