As per Cricbuzz reports, the Sri Lankan-born was informed on May 22, just a week prior to the start of the showpiece event in the United States of America and the Caribbean.

While players didn’t agree to it, Cricket Canada found enough evidence to oust Dassanayake.
Canada will open their tournament against the hosts USA at Dallas on June 2 (6 AM IST).
