Mired in controversies over lack of transparency, accountability, and fairness in the selection of national teams, Cricket Canada has finally bade farewell to the team that has been managing its affairs. Instead, the special general house of Cricket Canada has started a new chapter of transparent, accountable, and fair administrative control of the sport in the country.
Arvinder Khosa of Surrey has been elected as its new president with an overwhelming majority. The election of the new team marks a transition for the organisation as it works to strengthen and support the sport across the country. Khosa is a highly respected cricket administrator and community leader from Surrey, British Columbia, with a long-standing involvement in the game, said Cricket Canada in a notification on its web page.

Khosa assumes the role effective immediately following his election at Cricket Canada’s Special General Meeting. Under this new leadership, Cricket Canada will focus on strengthening governance, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and continuing to build strong foundations for the organisation, the notification said.
Khosa brings experience from across the Canadian cricket landscape, including his role with Cricket BC, where he has supported the development and promotion of the sport at both the grassroots and organisational levels.
“This is an important moment for cricket in Canada,” said Khosa. “We are focused on strengthening the organisation and working with our members and partners to support the game across the country, with an emphasis on integrity, accountability, and continued growth.”
Joining Khosa is newly elected Secretary Paramjit Shahi, a community leader from Winnipeg, Manitoba, who has been actively involved in cricket development, including supporting infrastructure and youth programming initiatives.
Cricket in Canada continues to evolve, with steady participation growth, ongoing investment in the national program, and increasing interest in the development of Canadian talent. The organisation remains focused on supporting that progress and advancing the game across the country.
