Longstanding Guyana Cricket Board Territorial Development Officer (TDO) Colin Stuart is considering the way forward following the termination of his employment by the Guyana Cricket Board.
Stuart, who wished not to disclose much on the situation, said the GCB terminated his employment at the end of May after he had received three letters dating back to October 2022.
The former West Indies pacer, who holds a Master’s degree in Project Management from the University of the West Indies has served in the position for nearly a decade in his second of two stints.
He previously held the position from June 2005 to February 2009.
In sections of the media, it is reported that GCB boss, Bissoondyal Singh said that it was an executive decision and that Stuart’s performance was under review for the last six months adding that there are persons within the organization that will act in the interim.
It is the Singh-led administration that in it’s first term, extended the contract period from two years to four years.
Former secretary of the GCB, in the previous administration, Anand Sanasie, on his social media labeled Stuart as “intelligent and assertive.”
Stuart, who is also a Level Three coach and facilitator is the latest to be fired since this administration assumed office in 2021. Among those sacked were former national head coach, Esuan Crandon, who was instrumental in Guyana’s dominance in the Regional Four-day tournament since 2014, and national women’s head coach, Julian Moore.
The current administration has also butted heads with former affiliates including former executives, Roger Harper and Hilbert Foster with Foster being replaced as a Director of Cricket West Indies in 2022 after serving approximately 11 months in the position.
The GCB has also found itself in the face of a legal battle with former West Indies batsman, Vishual Singh over damaged reputation and unpaid salary.
