Essequibo Cricket Board AGM and Elections set for tomorrow

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Election of office-bearers of the Essequibo Cricket Board is set for tomorrow at the Imam Bacchus Library at Affiance in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).

Former Vice-President Dileep Singh has expressed confidence of taking over the leadership role from the incumbent office holder Alvin Johnson. According to Singh, a businessman, he wants to see the continued development of cricket in the county, and will reveal his plans immediately, once elected.
Top on his agenda is to ensure cricket is being played constantly, which will certainly help with the developmental aspect of the game. Singh also related that inclusivity is another top priority, and he said he is eager to see female cricket achieve a great level.
As President of the Essequibo Chambers of Commerce, Singh believes his experience as a leader would be an asset to the development of cricket in the Cinderella County.
Another project Singh is anxious to restore is the rehabilitation of the County Cricket Hostel, which is located at Anna Regina.
Former Essequibo and Guyana youth cricketer Royan Fredricks has also signalled his intention to run the affairs of cricket in Essequibo.
The meeting will be presided over by Guyana’s Cricket Ombudsman Malcolm Peter, and proceedings get cracking at 11:00 am sharp.
