West Berbice Cricket Association supports appointment of ombudsman

Dear Editor,

I write to express the support of the West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA) for the appointment of the Cricket Ombudsman. The Honourable Minister Dr. George Norton has brought an end to the speculation and we can finally move forward with the continued success of Guyana’s cricket with whoever gets on to the Executive Committee of the GCB in January 2020.

The WBCA is not associated with nor did we permit or attend any meeting to instruct Mr. Arun Gossai to challenge the Minister’s appointment of Mr. Stephen Lewis, as the cricket ombudsman.

In fact, West Berbice fully supports the appointment of Mr. Lewis and implores this gentleman to begin the club verification process, especially in the County of Berbice. We would also like the Cricket Ombudsman to clarify why no Berbice Cricket Board Election was held in December 2018.

It is time all the affected clubs speak out against the one man dictatorship in Berbice. No Executive Meetings, No Elections!! It is time.

Yours faithfully,

Carole Nurse.

Secretary

West Berbice Cricket Association
