Dear Editor,
While I cannot deem myself a cricket enthusiast, I do read the sports news. I saw in today’s Kaieteur News that the East Coast Cricket Board is telling the public that it is also known as the East Coast Demerara Cricket Association. Is this so? Isn’t the East Coast Board being less than honest?
I have learnt that the East Coast Demerara Cricket Association is an independent body born of the right to associate guaranteed under Guyana’s constitution and that this association has about 16 clubs playing cricket on the East Coast Demerara under its umbrella.
NDCs and other authorities controlling cricket grounds on the East Coast should ask questions of the East Coast Board. Is the East Coast Board really a functioning entity? Incidentally, isn’t the East Coast Board struck off strength from the Deme-rara Board? I seem to recall a notice to this effect in the print media a few months ago.
Editors, I think cricketers on the East Coast deserve the truth. Is the East Coast Board being truthful?
Yours faithfully,
Charles Selman
