ECCB President Bissoon Singh said yesterday that the competitions, for eight first division and 34 second division teams, are sponsored by Singhfam Corp, manufacturers and distributors of the Elizabeth Style Cosmetic line.

Singh and Sons in the City and the ECCB head said the competition will be played on a round-robin basis with all of the new ICC regulations except the one which states that new balls will be used from both ends due to a cost factor.
Singh said that the competition will conclude early January adding that the ECCB intends to start a female competition early next year in addition to the under-21 male tournament that is presently ongoing.
Singh said that Singhfam Corp will be sponsoring under-19 and under-21 competitions in Berbice next week and disclosed that the USA Company will also be going to Essequibo and other parts of Demerara to help in the development of local cricket.
“We wanted this sponsorship to cover a three-day competition but due to the limited time before the year ends and the adverse weather, it was decided that a 40-over competition be played to get the promotion off the ground,” Singh said. (Sean Devers)
