Cricket Ombudsman issues notice to WBCA

Nov 19, 2023 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – Cricket Ombudsman Malcom Peters has issued a notice to the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as well as a few associations.

The notice was sent via letter, addressed to Carol Nurse, Secretary of the West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA) and former president David Black.

According to the letter, the WBCA is set to host its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 26 at the Fort Wellington Secondary School. However the tenure of the WBCA previously ended in January 2021, making the body null.

In accordance with the 2014 Guyana Cricket Administration Act (GCAA), all clubs and associations must be verified prior to an electoral procedure.

Also, the notice highlighted BCB president Hilbert Foster’s recent social media announcement that the board will be holding elections on December 17, at the St. Francis Facility, Rose Hall.

Should the WBCA and the BCB host their respective elections, it would be without compliance of provisions and regulations of the GCCA and by extension the Guyana Cricket Ombudsman.

Thus, actions will result in the processes being deemed Illegal, null and void with no effect, according to the letter sent by the Ombudsman.
