FOLLOWING Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) is set to hold its long-awaited elections on Friday February 19 at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC). This new ruling comes months after last September’s Court of Appeal sitting, which saw the Cricket Administration Act once again restored.
Cricket elections had been a hot topic for almost a decade and, given this new emphasis on the restoration of a new body, this recent court hearing will undoubtedly set the tone for future changes in local cricket administration.
After Monday’s High Court action No.2018-HC-DEM-CIV-FDA-622 was heard before Justice Navindra Singh, the now long road to elections commences and will first be marked by the DCB elections of officer-bearers, followed by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) electoral process.

Of the 5 associations, East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB), Upper Demerara Cricket Association (UDCA) and Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) have already provided their respective information; leaving just East Bank Cricket Association (EBCA) and West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) as the two final sub-associations which have until today to submit their list of delegates.
Meanwhile, in accordance with Section 17 of the Guyana Cricket Administration Act, following the DCB elections, consultation between Cricket West Indies (CWI) and most likely the Minister of Sport will move to select an Ombudsman as they prepare for the highly anticipated GCB elections.
