THE Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), barring anything unforeseen, will be sticking to their projected September 2021 time frame for the restart of all their cricket-related activities, following the initial disruption caused by the Covid-19 outbreak early last year. Speaking briefly with BCB public relations officer (PRO), Simon Naidu, on Monday, the executive said that plans are still in place to have action restart at least by the end of September, aiming to stick to the board’s previous announcement back in July regarding September being the month that the ‘wheels’ recommence turning, action wise. As previously outlined a few months back, the board will be keen on monitoring a number of areas before they attempt to fully get back into action.

Among those areas of concern/watch was improvement in the weather which has been spontaneous recently while ensuring that all of their players have been fully vaccinated. Following the Covid-19 outbreak last year, the BCB, like many other sports organisations, were forced to immediately halt action as the world waited for a way forward amidst the pandemic. However, despite the virus still wreaking havoc, the world has come to find ways of staying safe and carrying out their daily tasks, especially with the introduction of the vaccine.
The BCB had abandoned a number of their annually-sponsored tournaments and events due to the lockdown protocols. With things a bit more under control at the moment locally, the BCB plans to restart things as their players have been keeping fit and training throughout the period of dormancy.
