The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has expressed sadness at the recent passing of the fathers of two of the country’s national cricketers Orin Rutherford and Sahadeo Singh.
Rutherford is the father of West Indies and national cricketer Sherfane Rutherford.
Rutherford, who was in Dubai with his Indian Premiere League team Sunrisers Hyderabad, had to return home after he received the devastating news about his father’s demise last Thursday, reportedly from Covid 19.
“The GCB once again expresses heartfelt condolence to Rutherford and his family during their time of bereavement,” the GCB release stated.
The GCB also extended condolence on the passing of Gajanand Singh’s father, Sahadeo Singh.
“The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has expressed sadness at the recent passing of Sahadeo Singh, the father of cricketer Gajanand Singh,” the GCB release stated.
“Gajanand Singh, who has played 10 first-class matches for Guyana, is now a resident of the United States of America (USA). He was recently in Oman representing the United States of America in a Tri-series tournament when his father lost his life to cancer last Tuesday.
The GCB once again expresses heartfelt condolences to the Singh family during this time of their bereavement,” the release ended.
