GSCL Inc President Ian John also issued a public apology at the event
When the Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Inc hosted the inaugural President’s T20 Softball Cup Finals on Sunday, March 7, 2021, the Open final came to an abrupt stop as the organisers recognised a breach in the COVID-19 guidelines.

This was after President of Guyana, His Excellency, Dr Irfaan Ali reprimanded the organisers and the spectators for their flouting of the protocols.
As such, the GSCL Inc has issued a letter of apology. In the letter, it said, “On behalf of the Executives of the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc, we humbly apologise for the breaching of the COVID-19 guidelines at the finals of the inaugural President T20 Softball Cricket Tournament held on the 7th March, 2021 at the Everest Cricket Club. The league had systems in place such as providing masks and sanitising every person upon entry, but ultimately, we had failed to completely control the situation, since it is difficult to have complete control over every individual and as such, we accept full responsibility. We are terribly sorry and once again humbly apologise. We do look forward to a continued working relationship.”
Meanwhile, the Everest Cricket Club has been closed for sanitising and to put more COVID-19 measures in place.
