ICC Asks Cricket Canada for Details of Allegations against New CEO
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has taken a stern notice of the allegations of theft and fraud levelled against the newly appointed CEO of Cricket Canada (CC), Salman Khan. As per the latest reports, the ICC has asked CC to provide details about the allegations against Khan.
For those who might not be aware, it was two months ago when the current CC CEO got charged by Calgary Police in connection with alleged misappropriation of funds amounting to nearly $200,000 Canadian during the period of 2014 to 2016. The charges were filed under the criminal code of Canada, which includes fraud and theft.
The allegations against Khan came to light when the current CEO of CC, who is already facing the charges, made a shocking revelation about Khan’s involvement in the financial irregularities. The current CEO alleged that Khan had been involved in the misappropriation of funds during his tenure as the CEO of a non-profit organization.
The allegations have sent shockwaves across the cricketing world, with many calling for Khan’s immediate resignation. The ICC, being the governing body of international cricket, has taken the allegations seriously and has asked CC to provide a detailed report about the allegations against Khan.
In a statement, the ICC said, “We take all allegations of financial misconduct seriously and have asked Cricket Canada to provide us with details of the allegations against their new CEO, Salman Khan. We will conduct a thorough investigation and take necessary action if the allegations are found to be true.”
The ICC’s move is seen as a significant development in the matter, as it sends a strong message that it will not tolerate any form of financial misconduct in the sport. The cricketing world is watching the developments closely, with many expecting Khan to face severe consequences if the allegations are found to be true.
For his part, Khan has denied any wrongdoing and has said that he will cooperate fully with the investigation. In a statement, Khan said, “I am shocked and disappointed by the allegations against me. I have always been committed to transparency and accountability in my work, and I will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation to clear my name.”
The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the ICC will not hesitate to take action if the allegations are found to be true.
