ICC Seeks Answers from Cricket Canada Over CEO’s Fraud Allegations

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has formally requested detailed information from Cricket Canada regarding serious theft and fraud allegations against its newly appointed CEO, Salman Khan. The charges, filed by Calgary Police in March 2025, pertain to incidents that allegedly occurred between 2014 and 2016, during Khan’s tenure as president of the Calgary and District Cricket League (CDCL).

In a letter signed by William Glenwright, the ICC’s General Manager of Development, the council outlined four specific inquiries:

1. What process did Cricket Canada follow in hiring its new CEO?
2. Was anyone on the board aware of the allegations against Khan during the recruitment process?
3. If not, when did Cricket Canada become aware of the charges?
4. What actions, if any, has Cricket Canada taken in response?

The ICC emphasized that, while it is currently seeking information, parts of its Code of Ethics could come into play depending on the responses provided.

Khan has firmly denied the accusations. In a public Facebook post in March, he stated,

“I see many fake and self-created posts circulating around, and I want to set the record straight. First of all, these are all fake. I have never been arrested, detained, or on any bail. These claims are completely false, and those spreading these rumors will have to answer for it.”

He further claimed that after seven years of legal proceedings, no proof has been presented against him. Khan asserts he has over 21 transcripts showing the complainant admitting to false claims and insisted, “I am not worried at all. I’m ready to fight just like I’ve been doing for the past 8 years.”

The ICC has not taken disciplinary action yet, but the situation remains under review. The outcome may depend on Cricket Canada’s response to the ICC’s questions. If the board is found to have ignored or withheld critical information, it could face consequences under ICC governance standards.

As the story unfolds, questions are being raised not just about Khan’s past, but also about Cricket Canada’s transparency and due diligence during its leadership appointments. The international cricket community now awaits Cricket Canada’s official response to the ICC’s inquiry.
