WE refer to a Notice in your Sunday Newspaper dated 24th April, 2015 where it appears that one Sudesh Persaud is once again impersonating a functionary (Assistant Secretary) of the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB), a Corporate Body.We hereby reject all statements expressed in the said notice as fictitious, libellous, malicious, mischievous and misleading.
There exists no lawful Executive Committee of the DEMERARA CRICKET BOARD
We believe that Sudesh Persaud’s continuous deception and pretence of being the Assistant Secretary of the Demerara Cricket Board (a Body Corporate) when he is not constitutes a serious criminal offence.
The Cricket Administration Act No. 14 of 2014 on Page 28 clearly identified the Georgetown Cricket Association, the East Coast Cricket Board, the East Bank Cricket Association, the West Demerara Cricket Association and the Upper Demerara Cricket Association as the only legally recognised members of the DCB.
Sudesh Persaud and anyone acting in concert with him may be required to produce all documents/information to the Guyana Police Force, the Director of Public Prosecutions and other relevant authorities including a Magistrate Court to verify his claims, as to how and when he was installed as Assistant Secretary of the DCB, including who voted, and who are his fellow executives.
It is a criminal offence to impersonate an Executive Member of a corporate body and as such the membership of the DCB (AS PRESCRIBED BY LAW) has instructed their Attorneys-at-Law to bring Sudesh Persaud to justice.
The membership of the DEMERARA CRICKET BOARD is therefore advised to ignore and disregard the Notice signed by Sudesh Persaud and published in the national newspapers on Sunday April 26, 2015 since he is NOT an Executive member/officer of the DCB nor is he duly authorised.
As instructed by the meeting of the members held on Friday, March 27 2015 at the GNIC Sports Club, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Demerara Cricket Board will be held on April 30, 2015 commencing 17:00hrs at the GNIC pavilion, Woolford Avenue, Georgetown. The agenda of the AGM of the DCB remains the same as was published on Sunday, March 29 2015. The entire membership of the DCB is invited.
It must be noted that this would be the first free and fair elections of the DCB in four (4) years and IT IS TIME for democracy in our Cricket Administration, thereby allowing for cricket to be truly the winner.

Majority of the Membership of the Demerara Cricket Board
