With the inclusion of the Mauritius Cricket Federation, the number of associate members has increased to 99, and the number of full-time members remains 12.
The cricket governing bodies of the United States of America and Canada remain suspended while the future of French cricket remains on notice. ICC took the decisions during its Annual Conference in Edinburgh.
“The ICC also discussed at length the situation involving the associations in the US and Canada but, in the end, the world body's administrators decided to maintain the status quo. The significance of restoring the membership to the USAC was recognized, particularly in the context of the LA28 Olympics, but a decision has been deferred,” Cricbuzz mentioned in their report on July 12.
Why does Canada cricket remain suspended
“The Canada issue is less clear. Cricket Canada will have to address certain internal issues, the details of which remain unclear,” a Cricket Canada source told the media house. ICC suspended Cricket Canada over the allegations of breaching membership obligations.
“In recent months, Canada’s cricket governing body has been the subject of explosive allegations from the Fifth Estate, CBC’s investigative unit. The show said its wide-ranging investigation found corruption, coercion, evidence of match-fixing and other misconduct within Cricket Canada,” The Guardian reported this more than a month before.
