ANAND Kalladeen, former treasurer of the East Bank Demerara Cricket Association (EBDCA), was recently elected to serve as that entity’s new president for the forthcoming year 2014/15 when that entity held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, September 30, at the Providence Community Centre. 

Kalladeen replaces the long-serving Rohan Sarjoo who has served out his five consecutive years at the helm.
The Constitution of the EBDCA restricts the president and the treasurer from holding office for more than five consecutive years, but with his excellent service given in the presidency seat, the electorates voted for Sarjoo to return as one of two vice-presidents to Kalladeen, with Johnny Azeez as the other.
Mohamed Baksh will serve as secretary, while Sewnarine Kallicharran, Rakesh Seagram and Eric Sukrah will execute the offices of treasurer, assistant secretary and assistant treasurer respectively.
Alvin Rambarran, Ronald Jaisingh, K. Barker, Jermaine Ramroop and Julian Mohabir are the committee members while as Rakesh Gangaram has been tasked with the duties of organising competitions for the EBDCA, who also has Demerara Cricket Board president Raj Singh as its Marketing Manager.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) is John Ramsingh and following the first executive meeting that was held two days after being elected, several sub-committees were named and are as follows:
Marketing and Fundraising will be headed by Raj Singh, with assistance from Sarjoo, Kallicharran and Azeez, even as Kalladeen and Rambarran will be responsible for discipline while Kalladeen, Rohan Sarjoo, Julian Mohabir and Rambarran will take charge of the Cricket Development Committee of the EBDCA.
The two selectors on board with the DCB are Azeez at the senior level and Sarjoo at the junior level with Barker and Gangaram as the alternates for both categories.
