BCB to challenge Norton’s appointment of Ombudsman

FLASHBACK! Lawyers for the Guyana Cricket Board, Roysdale Forde and Stephen Lewis, leaving the court after an earlier hearing.

The Berbice Cricket Board, through its counsel, Attorney-at-Law, Arudranauth Gossai, is expected to challenge Minister of Social Cohesion, with responsibility for Sport, Dr George Norton’s appointment of Stephen Lewis as the Cricket Ombudsman.

This is according to Gossai, who told this newspaper that he is expected to file the challenge on Monday on behalf of the Berbice Cricket Board.

Norton had appointed Lewis, a former president of Everest Cricket Club to the position back in March after consultation with Cricket West Indies.

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) had also appointed Lewis, who is also an Attorney-at-Law to the same position.
