Recently-elected President of the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) Bissoondyal Singh, was earlier today unanimously voted as the new President of the Guyana Cricket Board.
On instruction from Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport and Cricket Ombudsman Kamal Ramkarran, today’s election, comes after years of conflict within the governing Cricket Body in Guyana, which has found itself embroiled in several court matter of the last decade.
The first GCB election was slated for February 26, 2021 but was called off by the Ombudsman, due to issues raised on the part of the Essequibo Cricket Board.
