Malcolm Peters, Cricket Ombudsman

Following the publication of notices for the staging of elections for the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) and West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA), respectively, Cricket Ombudsman Malcolm Peters has declared that neither election can be conducted once it’s not in accordance with the Cricket Administration Act of 2014.

This was disclosed by an official message from the office of the Cricket Ombudsman yesterday. According to the correspondence, which was signed by Peters, “It was brought to my attention that person or persons unknown have issued two notices that have been published in the Kaiteur Newspaper of December 5, 2023, regarding the elections of the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) and the West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA). In the case of the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association, it was stated that the election will be held on December 14, 2023, at the Skeldon Community Centre.”
