Cricket in the Capital City and like many other parts of Guyana continues to be a backyard past time since the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
There has been a prolonged absence of cricket due to several factors including Guyana’s Mashramani celebrations along with the holding of General and Regional Elections. The Coronavirus has since contributed to the hiatus as the Georgetown Cricket Association (GAC) recently announced that it will be following the Ministry of Public Health’s recommendation to promote social distancing as a means to halt the spread of the virus.
“Please note that in light of the directives from the MOPH, all GCA cricket competitions are suspended until further notice,” Shaun Massiah, Chairman of GCA competition committee informed.
The move will stall cricket action in the New Building Society (NBS) 40 overs, second-division tournament, the Noble House Seafoods, second-division, two-day tournament and GISE, Star Party Rental and Trophy Stall first-division. (Royston Alkins)
