Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) president, Bissoondyal Singh, has engaged with Cricket West Indies President, Ricky Skerritt and Vice-President, Dr Kishore Shallow, on the continued omission of Guyanese players.

This is according to a press release issued on Tuesday which stated, “President of the GCB, Mr. Bissoondyal Singh, on August 02, 2021 intervened by discussing with CWI President Ricky Skerritt the selection issue in general and the continuing omission of Guyanese players in particular. On August 03, 2021, President Singh also had a discussion with CWI Vice-President Dr. Kishore Shallow on the very matters.” This intervention stemmed from the selection of only four Guyanese within the 56-member West Indies under-19 training squad for next year’s youth World Cup in the Caribbean.
