Toronto, April 19 -- The Canadian law enforcement is probing alleged threats and intimidation of cricket players, with a media investigation pointing to a possible link with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and raising concerns of match-fixing in the sport. The report by CBC News said police in the town of Delta in British Columbia confirmed they were investigating allegations of "interference and threats at both the provincial and national levels". They added that the matter had been flagged to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police due to broader integrity considerations that extended beyond local jurisdiction. The investigation also touches on possible match-fixing during the T20 World Cup in India earlier this year, where a Canada player was interviewed by the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit, the report said. The developments come amid turmoil within Cricket Canada, which has faced allegations of financial mismanagement and governance lapses. A court-ordered vote earlier this month led to the election of a new president, Arvinder Khosa, replacing Amjad Bajwa. However, Khosa, who resides in Surrey, British Columbia, and was also named in the CBC report, dismissed the allegations against him as "political propaganda". In a statement released on Friday, Cricket Canada, the sport's governing body in the country, said it "took these matters seriously", and remained focused on strengthening governance and supporting the growth of the game. "Any conclusions will be based on verified facts, proper process, and fairness to all involved," it added. It said it "operated within" the ICC's anti-corruption framework and remained fully compliant with all ICC applicable requirements. Reacting to the televised report, Cricket Canada said, "Cricket Canada recognises that this coverage may raise questions among players, members, partners and the broader cricket community." On April 14, prior to the report airing, Cricket Canada said, "Recent promotional material alludes to allegations related to organised crime and match-fixing - issues that Cricket Canada takes extremely seriously. The integrity of the sport is fundamental, and any concern that could compromise fair competition is treated with the utmost importance."...
