Cricket Canada CEO says charges of theft and fraud are ’completely false’

Khan became president of the Alberta Cricket Association in 2022. He was appointed CEO of Cricket Canada in early January.
At the time, Cricket Canada said Khan “will be responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of Cricket Canada, driving the growth of cricket in Canada, and enhancing the development of both the grassroots and elite levels of the sport.”
“His diverse expertise, strategic vision, and passion for the sport of cricket will be invaluable as we continue to grow the game and elevate the profile of Canadian cricket on the global stage,” Cricket Canada added.
The charges are just the latest black eye for the governing body.
Two former players, Srimantha Wijeyeratne and Ammar Khalid, launched a complaint after being left off Canada’s T20 World Cup team last year. The Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada ruled that Cricket Canada’s team selection was not made in accordance with its own selection policy and ordered that it be redone according to the rules.
Both players were left off the roster again.
Former Canada coach Pubudu Dassanayake, who testified that he was “surprised with the team selected and disappointed as well,” has launched a wrongful dismissal case against Cricket Canada. It is slated to go before a mediator.
Dassanayake left the team after last summer’s T20 World Cup. At the time, Cricket Canada said his contract was not renewed when it expired at the end of July.
The Sri Lankan-born Dassanayake, who played for both Sri Lanka and Canada, was in his second stint at Canada’s helm. He has also coached Nepal (twice) and the U.S.
