GCB congratulates Deleep Singh on re-election as Essequibo Cricket Board President
Kaieteur Sports – It was a unanimous win for Deleep Singh, who easily retained his post as president of the Essequibo Cricket Board (ECB), this past weekend following the Board’s Elections. Singh, who is a Cricket West Indies (CWI) Director, had been the breath of fresh air needed for cricket in Cinderella County, having revamped the cricket system across the islands of Essequibo. Among those present were CWI Director and President of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Bissoondyal Singh alongside GCB CEO Claude Raphael.
The ECB new-look body includes Vice-president and national senior selector Royan Fredericks, Ernesto De Mattos and Mustapha Zaman who were appointed Zone Vice-Presidents for Zone’s One and Two.
Mirenda Cornelius will take on the role of Secretary, with long-time national youth manager Nazeer Mohamed being named Assistant Secretary. Rooplall Looknauth was appointed Treasurer, with assistance from Adjodha Lall, while Basil Persaud, the Caretaker of the ECB Hostel, was appointed role of Public Relations Officer and Competitions Chairman who was an integral part of last year’s expansion, Kumar Dass, was elected Marketing Manager for the ECB. Former national youth cricketer, Yogeshwar Lall, will now take over from Dass as new Chairman of the Competitions Committee. Janice Griffith and Khemraj Surujpaul will serve as Trustees of the ECB. PKF Barcellos/Narine Chartered Accountants were named as official auditors of the ECB, as the board pushes to maintain its commitment to financial transparency and accountability.

Meanwhile, in a Post re-election statement, Singh maintained that development is one of the main goals of the ECB, highlighting more emphasis on young women as another key area the board will continue to develop. Near future plans to complete the renovation work at the Cricket Hostel in Essequibo, while forging better/new relationships with members across the neighboring islands, were among goals discussed by the ECB head.
Also, the GCB wished Mr. Singh and his executives well and encourages them to continue with the good job they have been doing in the growth of cricket across Essequibo.
