GSCL Inc mourns the loss of softball veteran Lakeram ‘Mike’ Singh

The executives and members of the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc (GSCL) have been saddened by the untimely passing of Lakeram “Mike” Singh of the Mike’s Wellman Softball Cricket Team.

The GSCL has said it wishes to extend sympathy to the immediate family members of Singh, the staff of Mike’s Pharmacy, his former teammates, and by extension the entire cricket fraternity, on the passing of this softball cricket stalwart.

A statement posted by the GSCL on its Facebook page has said, “The news of ‘Mike’ as he is called, has placed a damper on the ongoing Florida Cup in Fort Lauderdale, but, as a league, we will dedicate the rest of the tournament to our beloved friend, who was on his maiden tour with Mike’s Wellman. Our prayers are with his wife, children, other relatives, and many friends at this difficult time. We have lost a true gentleman who was a fierce competitor on the field. Mikey died while doing what he loved. Rest in peace, Mikey. Until we meet again. Well played, champion.”
At the time of his death, Singh, who was fondly called Shane Warne because of his huge turning leg breaks, was leading his side in their second preliminary round match of the Florida Cup 2022 when he collapsed on the field after bowling his spell.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
