Monty Desai leaves his role as Canada’s head coach, according to cricket reports. The change follows ongoing scrutiny over conduct connected to Canadian cricket, with multiple outlets linking his departure to a wider corruption investigation.
ESPN Cricinfo reports that Desai took over as head coach after Canada’s match at the T20 World Cup 2026, when the setup surrounding the team and its administration faced corruption investigations. That reporting also notes that Cricket Canada is currently suspended by the ICC, providing broader context for governance and oversight issues affecting the sport in the country.
India Today similarly reports Desai stepping down as Canada coach amid a corruption scandal, focusing on the resignation itself rather than detailing the operational timeline. Together, the sources indicate the resignation is connected to corruption-related developments, but they differ in how much background they provide about why he was appointed and the specific status of cricket governance bodies at the time.
