Canada Cricket team banned by ICC: After the ICC Board meeting held on June 1 in Ahmedabad, a big decision has come to the fore in the cricket world. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Cricket Canada’s membership with immediate effect. This decision has come at a time when the Canadian team had recently returned from participating in the T20 World Cup 2026. This step of ICC has given rise to a new debate in international cricket.

However, giving relief to the players, ICC has made it clear that the national team will be able to continue participating in international competitions for the time being.
