THE Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday stated that its members will not be participating in the upcoming Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) elections, owing to the illegality of the event. 

“Based on the Cricket Administration Bill, the BCB will not be attending the GCB Annual General Meeting,“ the BCB said in a release.
According to the release from the BCB, its members met last Sunday (January 18) at the board office “and decided that based on the Cricket Administration Bill which is now law, they will not attend or in any way participate in the upcoming elections of the GCB.
The bill states clearly that only the Minister of Sport has the authority to call the GCB elections, and that was again clearly stated by the Minister in Guyana Times Newspapers on Monday.
