The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Cricket Canada from its membership due to serious breaches of governance obligations, following allegations of corruption and match-fixing. Despite the suspension, Canadian national teams remain eligible to participate in ICC events, with funding provided through a controlled mechanism overseen by ICC management. Cricket Canada must meet specific conditions to restore membership, monitored by the ICC Normalisation Committee. The ICC also approved trials for using a pink ball in Test matches to reduce lost playing time due to poor light.
