In an unforeseen turn of events, Minister of Social Cohesion with Responsibility for Sports, Dr George Norton has appointed Attorney-at-Law Stephen Lewis, as the Cricket Ombudsman while setting January 26, 2020 as the date for the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) elections.
Lewis, a former President of the Everest Cricket Club, had been appointed by the GCB back in May, 2018 to the post at the board’s general meeting where he attained more votes that Justice Cecil Kennard.
However, the Berbice Cricket Board had moved to the court to halt the appointment of Lewis and an interim injunction was granted. Norton had continuously stressed the damaging effect the numerous court injunctions have had on the administration of cricket in Guyana.
