Canada A Cricket Criminal:  Cricket Canada suspended over allegations of India gang-linked corruption

Cricket’s international governing body has suspended Canada over what it described as “serious breaches of its membership obligations”, dealing the latest blow to an organization that critics say has become a “laughing stock” within the sport.

The suspension also comes amid growing concerns that one of Canada’s fastest-growing sports is being influenced by members of a notorious gang that operates with impunity from an Indian prison cell.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) finalized the suspension at a meeting in Ahmedabad, India, on Sunday amid mounting concerns about the governance of Canada’s national cricket body. The decision follows the freezing of Cricket Canada’s funding in May after allegations that the organization lacked adequate governance systems and had failed to file audited financial statements.

B.C. man beat a woman with a bat in her bedroom. A judge praised his remorse and reduced his sentence

A B.C. man who broke into a woman’s home and beat her with a baseball bat while her children hid nearby was awarded a reduced sentence last week because the judge was convinced the 25-year-old is “not now the person he was when he viciously and irrationally attacked” his victim.

Craig Brentton Durando was granted a conditional sentence of two years less a day for assault with a weapon, robbery and breaking and entering — offences to which he pleaded guilty last October — allowing him to serve his time in a provincial correctional facility.
