The home of newly elected Cricket Canada president Arvinder Khosa in Surrey, B.C. was targeted in a shooting early Wednesday morning, the fifth estate has learned. At least five bullet holes were found in the door, windows, and exterior of the Newton neighbourhood residence.

Surrey Police responded around 4:40 a.m. PT. The house was occupied at the time, but no injuries were reported. Police say the shooting is believed to be extortion-related and that the investigation is in early stages.

Khosa, who confirmed the shooting but offered no additional details, remains president of Cricket B.C. The incident comes just weeks after the fifth estate published an investigation into Cricket Canada revealing broader allegations of corruption, organized crime influence, and match-fixing by major figures at the organization. Those accused have denied all allegations.

That same investigation revealed Khosa had connections to local players allegedly affiliated with the Bishnoi gang and had allegedly threatened a national men's player in 2025—allegations he previously denied. The shooting now casts a shadow over his leadership, whether or not it's directly connected to the cricket governance turmoil.

For Canadian cricket, the situation signals deepening instability at the sport's governance level. The timing—an attempted shooting at the president's home days after a damaging investigation—suggests the stakes in cricket administration have become genuinely dangerous. Police are investigating.
