Former Vice-President of the Guyana Cricket Board Azad Ibrahim will lead the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) for the next two years after he was elected president on Thursday night.
Ibrahim, who served as a vice-president under outgoing president, Neil Barry Snr., was unanimously elected to the post at his home club, Muslim Youth Organisation. Barry, who did not seek re-election, was congratulated for a job well done and his term in office was described as “remarkable.”
Returning officer, Grantley Culbard’s job was smooth as all positions were unopposed. Former president of the GCA, Roger Harper, who served as a vice-president in the previous administration, will take up the post of first vice-president while Everest Cricket Club’s Safraz Sheriffudeen will enter his first term as second vice-president.
Sheriffudeen’s Everest club mate, Joshua Kissoon, will serve as secretary, replacing Debroah McNichol, who took up the role as assistant secretary. MYO’s Imran Ally will return as treasurer while Lawrence Smith will replace Amrit Das as assistant treasurer. Georgetown Cricket Club’s Jameel Baksh will function as the association’s marketing manager while Shaquille Williams is the public relations officer. Shaun Massiah continues to serve as the competitions committee chairman and Harry Parmesar as the auditor.
The GCA indicated that clubs should start getting their grounds in order as competitions are expected to resume on February 11. The transfer window closes on Tuesday.
