GCB has ‘fruitful’ meeting with GCUC

Jun 04, 2023 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – On Thursday at the Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) Office, some of the newly-elected executives Guyana Cricket Umpires Council (GCUC) met with the GCB to discuss issues affecting the GCUC.

At the end of the discourse in which several compromises were made, both parties described the meeting as fruitful.

On the list of topics was the remuneration for Umpires for Inter-County at all levels.

Accommodation and traveling expenses for those officiating in matches far away from where they reside, a ‘space’ for a GCUC’s Office and the availability of Umpires for inter-county games at the U17, U15 and U-13 Levels, especially on weekdays, were also discussed.

President of the GCUC, Dawchan Nagasar and GCUC executives from all three Counties negotiated with GBC’s Anthony D’Andrade, Davteerth Anandjit and Kavita Yadram.

The increase in fees was agreed to by both parties while the GCB agreed that umpires in another County could travel the day before match day and would be accommodated at the Chetram Singh Centre of Excellence at LBI in rooms in a different section from the players.

Among some of the other issues agreed to were the updating of GCUC Bank account to facilitate a better payment structure and training classes to have more qualified umpires available for GCB competitions at the lower levels.

The sending of playing conditions to Coaches and Umpires as early as possible was also discussed, while with regards to the request for ‘Office space’ the GCB promised to explore the possibility of finding a place upstairs of the GCB office or at LBI.

Both parties promised to work in the best interest of each other for the development of Guyana’s cricket.
