WITH THE aim of bringing its members up to date with the latest change to the laws of cricket, among other topics, the Georgetown Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association (GCU&SA) hosted a successful seminar last Sunday at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion.The workshop was geared to discuss also, duties of third and fourth umpires, attitude and mental preparation, match management, team work, on-field communication, field technique and code of conduct.
Guyana’s international umpire Nigel Duguid, Shannon Crawford and Nandkumar Shivsankar were the facilitators and in an invited comment, Duguid said the demands of umpiring at the higher level is challenging so the aim of the session was to pass on the knowledge gained at the senior level to others, locally, so that they can become better officials.
“Umpires must be equipped to handle situations at any level so it is important and they should be prepared,”, he added, even as Crawford who stewards the GCU&SA said the objective of the session was achieved and he was impressed with the camaraderie.
“These sessions allow the executive to identify the areas that need to be worked on and help umpires to improve and at the end of it all, we were able to achieve our objective, which made the seminar a successful one for us as well.”
Shivsankar indicated that the attitude and mental preparation of the umpires are important and will take them through their careers adding that he was satisfied with the attendance and the response by his colleagues.
