The Global T20 Canada League organizers are awaiting approval from the ICC. According to some circles, Cricket Canada’s non-payment of dues is the reason for the delay. Some sources are also revealing an Indian owner’s alleged suspicious activities and investigations. Pakistani stars Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi have yet to be allowed by the PCB to participate in the event.
The fourth edition of the Global T20 Canada League, scheduled from July 25 to August 11, is in jeopardy due to the non-payment of dues to Cricket Canada. The event’s future hinges on the resolution of this financial dispute.
The Global T20 Canada League is not just facing financial hurdles, but also potential scandal. Allegations of suspicious activities by an Indian team owner have cast a shadow over the event, with the possibility of sensational revelations in the near future.
It should be remembered that the ICC has a policy of not commenting on such matters. In the event, Pakistani stars Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz were part of the Toronto Nationals team. Babar Azam and Mohammad Amir also joined the team, but the PCB still needs to give the NOC to the players for the event because the ICC has not sanctioned the tournament.
A few days ago, the authorities announced a policy of limiting league participation to reduce the players’ workload, but the complete details have not been revealed yet.
