THE recently elected Executive Committee of the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) held its first Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) on April 24, 2021 at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) pavilion, Lance Gibbs Street, Queenstown, Georgetown.

During the meeting, members expressed concern that the West Demerara Cricket Association and the East Bank Cricket Association have not attended any meeting of the DCB.
These two associations were also absent from the Court-appointed meeting in February 2021 to elect officers of the DCB for the 2021-2023 term of office.

DCB president Bissoondial Singh indicated that he will continue to reach out to these two associations since they are important to the developmental process, and in any case the cricketers are the ones who will suffer as a result of their continuing absence.

Furthermore, Singh said that the presidents of both associations had been sent registered notices of the meetings and copies of those notices were published in the newspapers.
In addition to the non-attendance, the two associations have not submitted their nominees for positions on the various sub-committees of the DCB.
