Attorney-At-Law for the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), Arudranauth Gossai has written the president of Cricket West Indies Ricky Skerrit seeking his intervention in Guyana’s cricket administration.
Gossai, who also represents the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA), East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB) and the Upper Demerara Cricket Association (UDCA), said his clients, who represent a majority stakeholder in the administration of cricket in Guyana, “have instructed me to write to you seeking the urgent intervention of the WICB/CWI into the grave travesty that is ongoing, unabated, in the administration of cricket in Guyana.”
Gossai wrote extensively, going into detail about the many court actions that continue to plague the administration of cricket in Guyana. In some instances he sent supporting documents.
Gossai said he wanted the CWI president to intervene in the plans by some cricket administrators to stage elections of the Demerara Cricket Board and the Guyana Cricket Board today and tomorrow.
He noted that a notice in the classified section of a local newspaper, advertised for the staging of elections of the Demerara Cricket Board today and elections of the Guyana Cricket Board tomorrow.
He described as flagrant disrespect, the decision to stage the annual general meeting of the Guyana Cricket Board even though, the Court of Appeal is yet to rule whether the order suspending the Cricket Act should be set aside.
“My clients sincerely believe that your office can and should intervene to prevent the unlawful and illegal elections which are scheduled for January 25th and 26th, 2020,” Gossai wrote adding..”My clients have successfully approached the High Court to stop the illegality.”
