BCB issues public apology to Travis Dowlin
The Berbice Cricket Board has issued a public apology to former Guyana national cricket captain, Travis Dowlin on the usage of the word ‘racism’ in a joint letter with the Demerara Cricket Board that was sent to the Guyana Cricket Board.
The statement noted, the last paragraph of the letter which unfortunately appeared in the national media reads “we have heard some very disturbing reports regarding the type of leadership our current national captain has been displaying towards some players which borders on “racism” and would urge this matter to be investigated and dealt with forthwith.”
Readers of the letter might form the view that Mr. Dowlin is a racist which is far from the truth.
The Board regrets the usage of the word “racism” as Mr. Dowlin is widely respected for his performance on and off the cricket field while representing Guyana. Travis Dowlin has been a faithful servant of Guyana’s cricket and the BCB wishes to place its admiration on record for his outstanding contribution to Demerara and Guyana’s cricket.
The BCB however still supports the other contents of the letter which calls for a review of the national selectors performances.
The BCB would also like to express its regret and full apologies to Mr. Dowlin, his family, club and his clubmates for any embarrassment caused by the usage of the word “racism” and wishes him the best in the future.
