Cambridge Jaguars cricket team to play in Canada’s CPSCL competition

…Canada-based Guyanese Satishwar Persaud excited to join new cricket league

The Canada-based Cambridge Jaguars cricket team (CJ) would be participating in the various tournaments of the Canadian Premier Softball Cricket League (CPSCL) this coming season.

For the past 10 consecutive years, CJ has participated in the Ontario Round-arm Softball Cricket Association’s (ORSCA’s) competitions with great success. According to president of the Cambridge Jaguars, Canada-based Guyanese Satishwar Persaud, proprietor of Adana Homes, he and his fellow teammates are eager to dominate proceedings at the CPSCL, but are anticipating stiff competition.
Persaud also outlined that there is no specific reason why the CJ has suddenly switched its participation from the ORSCA to the CPSCL, but says he strongly believes that featuring in a different league helps to boost the growth of softball cricket and, generally, the round-arm game.
“Cambridge Jaguars prospered under the umbrella of the ORSCA over the last 10 years, especially in the last five successive years, with the management of myself and Mohamed Jinnah,” Persaud has related.
Reflecting on what had transpired in 2021, he said the Cambridge Jaguars had roared to the final in the 20-over competition, but had been beaten by the Sunshine team. Persaud said that was a demonstration of his team’s total commitment to playing the game both seriously and enjoyably.
He described the ORSCA as a great organisation which has been built around astute and good leadership. “We want to thank the ORSCA for hosting us over the years,” he said. “This is an organisation which has been built around good leadership, and I wish them continued success.”
Adana Homes, of which he is proprietor, has been a major sponsor of the ORSCA competitions, and has been pleased to be associated with the ORSCA, according to Persaud.
Since its formation in 2020, the CPSCL has attracted multiple teams while staging 20-, 10-, and 100-ball competitions.
Persaud has informed that Cambridge Jaguars would be having its Annual General Meeting next month, and would be talking about recruitment and decision-making in an effort to keep the great functionality of the team.
Meanwhile, skipper of the CJ, Berbician Shilendra Singh, has expressed confidence that the Jaguars would definitely create an impression in the CPSCL as well. Singh pointed out that his players have been very committed over the years, and he is expecting the same level of dedication and competitive cricket from them.
Singh revealed that the boys are again excited to play round-arm cricket, and can’t wait for the season to begin, which is a firm indication of their love for the game.
He has expressed gratitude to the players for their total commitment, and to the management staff for running the affairs of the club, but has reserved special mention to the sponsor Satishwar Persaud of Adana Homes for his generosity.
