Anything less is gimmickry

Mar 17, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Kaieteur News – We are all familiar with the saying: While the elephants fight, the grass gets trodden underfoot.
In the Guyana’s current cricket arena, it is difficult to discount that analogy.
As an ex cricket Administrator, Captain, Coach and a number of other designations in the sport, I bleed for what I term as a masquerade over “the gentleman’s game”. Perhaps the moniker no longer applies, and certainly not to the administration of it.
The question in many minds: Why should the administration of cricket in Guyana be turned into a virtual football? Money? Perks? Politics?
Referring more specifically to cricket on the East Coast Demerara, a few persons are disenfranchising about 18 active Clubs comprising over 350 members in preference to about four “owned” and under-active Clubs with ad-hoc memberships.
In harsh terms, cricket on the East Coast Demerara is being messed with and cricketers, including many youths, are the proverbial grass being trodden underfoot.
My humble submission is for an independent party, very likely the Ombudsman, to “walk the territory” on a fact-finding exercise and the truth will soon be clear to him. The smokescreen needs to be blown away so that the true problem can be exposed and addressed.
Anything less is gimmickry.

Yours,
Taajnauth Jadunauth
