Demerara Board set to kick off Inter Association Under-15 competition

Mar 20, 2013 Sports

 

 

In a release President of the Demerara Cricket Board Raj Singh indicated that following invitations from the DCB to all Area Associations to prepare and present their squads for the Inter Association U15 competition, only the squads from East Bank Demerara Cricket Association and the West Demerara Cricket Association were received by the original cutoff date March 11.   The release stated that after very careful deliberations, the DCB then decided to extend the deadline for the teams’ submission by a further one week until March 18th and this information was subsequently communicated to those delinquent Associations.
It is important to note that players who do not participate in the officially sanctioned cricket of the Area Associations and their respective Boards would not be eligible to be selected to represent the county nor the national team. For this simple reason, the DCB has been reaching out to all and sundry to ensure that the politics does not interfere with the cricket and the youths and their future.
The release noted that the GCA and the ECCB have totally ignored their parent Board.  Many concerned parents have already contacted the DCB officials regarding the future of their children’s cricket careers.
The DCB is of the strong view that there is no legal impediment preventing the Demerara Cricket Board headed by Mr. Raj Singh from carrying out its functions and operations and challenge anyone to show evidence to the contrary. This Board has been recognized by the Guyana Cricket Board as the sole administrative authority for cricket in Demerara.
The DCB urges the players to remain focused on the task at hand and continue with their preparations for this important tournament and wishes to reassure those parents out there that every effort has been made to ensure that cricket is played where it was meant to be played, that is, on the field of play rather than in the corridors of the Court.
In an effort to ensure that these youths do not continue to suffer from the malaise affecting these administrators, the DCB has made arrangements for the selection of representative teams from these areas which are detailed hereunder:
East Coast Demerara Under-15 Cricket Team
Camroul Hookumchand (Captain)
