THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has congratulated the new president and executives of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), following Sunday’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The new-look BCB executive body which will now be headed by Ceil Beharry is being tasked with carrying out the board’s plans and agenda, as they relate to the continued development of cricket in Berbice.

Beharry, who was treasurer of the BCB for a few years, clinched the role after voting went 18-14 in his favour, following Sunday’s well-attended meeting.

Emphasis on development had been among the areas the previously run Hilbert Foster and his executives focused heavily on over the past six years.

With a veteran presence which includes long-serving BCB executive David Black being named Vice-President, along with Junior Blair and Qualis Winter, the board will get straight into action.

Ryan Algu was appointed new BCB Secretary with Ameer Rahaman the board’s Assistant Secretary, while the treasurer’s role was given to Rovin Bahadur, who will have Devindra Ramdihal as his assistant.

Meanwhile, GCB President Bissoondyal Singh and his executives sent their best wishes to the new BCB executive arm, as they seek to revamp and strengthen the level of cricket in the Ancient County, heading into 2024.
