GCB situation riddled with uncertainty, but CWI will ensure cricket, says Skerritt

Despite the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) being deemed illegal, CWI President Ricky Skerritt and his board are willing to assist cricket in Guyana.
In the Cricket West Indies (CWI) media conference held in Antigua on Thursday last, CWI President Ricky Skerritt explained that the situation in Guyana is ‘troubling’. Speaking on the situation from a CWI point-of-view, Skerritt made clear that the Cricket West Indies Board would continue to welcome Guyana teams to participate in the West Indies championships.
“We will do whatever we can to get the Guyana youth cricket teams involved in our cricket. We have the under-15 tournament in Antigua, and fortunately Guyana are one of those teams” Skerritt disclosed.
He said that as soon as CWI get more details on the actual legal judgment, they will continue to facilitate youth cricket. As they await clarity on the matter, Skerritt said, CWI has set a deadline which is in the future, but CWI will ensure cricket is played.
“The situation in Guyana must sort itself out”, were the words of Skerritt.
The year 2019 has been a defining year for cricket in Guyana, and Cricket West Indies U-19 championship is scheduled in July, while the Indian team will play the West Indies and Guyana may host those matches.
Madam Justice Fidela Corbin ruled that the GCB has been deemed illegal, and the appointment of Cricket Ombudsman Stephen Lewis is also illegal. The confirmation of this ruling was made by attorney Arudranauth Gossai.
