Upper Demerara still languishing outside of national cricket structure

Jun 15, 2015 Sports

Dear Sports Editor,
It is quickly approaching one (1) year since the Guyana Cricket Administration Act was passed unopposed in Parliament.
This Act finally gave the Upper Demerara Cricket Association (UDCA) the long-overdue recognition it had unrelentingly fought for since 2000 and the UDCA in now officially and legally a constituent member of the Demerara Cricket Board.
Our inclusion in the national cricket fold will ensure that the UDCA can now be part of the County and National cricket programmes and competitions.
Upper Demerara in the past has produced top quality cricketers some of whom played for Guyana and we will now be in a position to further develop and strengthen our cricket structure at the various levels.
Sadly however, to date Upper Demerara has not been included in any aspect of Guyana’s cricket and our youngsters continue to be deprived of the opportunity to play and develop their cricket, themselves and by extension the community of Upper Demerara.
We therefore make an impassioned appeal to our Government to intervene on our behalf to bring an end to this injustice to Upper Demerara and to let us play our cricket unhindered.
The Guyana Cricket Administration Act is expected to bring order, transparency and accountability to our cricket including proper and legal elections.
Bradley Fredricks,
President
