Justice Navindra Singh yesterday ordered that the elections for the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) be held no later than August 11, 2019 with the number of voting delegates to be in accordance with Article 15, Schedule II of the Guyana Cricket Administration Act.
Several Demerara-based cricket groups including the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA), the East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB), and the Upper Demerara Cricket Association (UDCA), the applicants, had petitioned the Court to order that the elections be held. Stabroek Sport had previously reported that attorney Arudranauth Gossai, who is representing the associations, had contended that the DCB has not held an election in over eight years and it is through the petition that they seek to hold the elections.
The application to the court for the holding of the DCB elections was made by Roger Harper in his capacity as President of the GCA, Davteerth Anandjit in his capacity as Secretary of the ECCB and Bradley Fredericks as President of the UDCA.
