Kaieteur News – The Barakat Brothers Cricket takes this opportunity to congratulate the newly elected members of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB). The West Demerara based cricket organization was very instrumental in the development of cricket on the West Demerara for almost fourteen (14) years. In his message CEO and Managing Director Mr. Feroze Barakat said, “Success is not only measured by money, it is measured by hard work, discipline and the will to succeed. You, the present executive of the GCB has demonstrated this quality. Hearty Congratulations on your success and do hope that you keep on striving for the betterment of cricket in Guyana.” According to Mr. Barakat who is also is the CEO of Odyssey Sightseeing Tours and Odyssey Transport Services Inc. “Our main aim was to promote cricket as a whole on the West Demerara after noting that there was a big void for quality competition. We had our challenges with the relevant board which from time to time would sanction players and umpires who took part in our competitions.
This was the main factor that forced us to eventually suspend our competitions taking into consideration the welfare of the players and officials. It is heartening to note the fresh faces in Mr. Bissoondyal Singh and Mr. Hilbert Foster being at the helm of taking cricket in Guyana forward. I am very impressed with the structure of cricket in Georgetown, East Coast of Demerara and in the Berbice area.
I wish to see similar developments in Essequibo and West Demerara in the near future. I say there is still hope with Mr. Bissondyal Singh and his team at the Demerara Cricket Board. Finally, I wish Mr. Bissondyal Singh and his team all the best in the future and for us to work together and put Guyana cricket first.”
