Salman Khan Shahzad, 46 , and Syed Wajahat Ali , 45 , charged with one count each of fraud over $5,000 from Calgary cricket league.

Police say between January 2014 and December 2016 , more than $200,000 had been misappropriated from the Calgary and District Cricket League .

Khan refuted the allegations on a Facebook post and in an interview with Postmedia , alleging police made little to no efforts to hear his side of the story before placing the charges against him.

The Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada ruled that Cricket Canada’s team selection was not made in accordance with its own selection policy and ordered that it be redone according to the rules.

Former coach Pubudu Dassanayake has launched a wrongful dismissal case against Cricket Canada .
