–Dr. Sukhai reaffirms his commitment to the Bissondyal Singh-led Administration
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has sought to address and rectify several inaccuracies that have emerged in an article published in the August 23, 2024 edition of The Guyana Chronicle.

Chronicle Sport published an article regarding the resignation of the GCB’s Vice President from his post as well as several other changes at the board level also unsuccessfully seeking a comment from the Board’s president at the initial publishing.
A day later, the GCB attempted to clear up several inaccuracies in a press release.

According to the release, the GCB aims to clarify the situation regarding its Treasurer, Dr. Brian Sukhai, as well as a long-standing employee who has devoted over three decades of exceptional service to the board.
The article published in the sport section, incorrectly stated that Dr. Sukhai had resigned from the GCB with his final working day set for August 31, 2024.

“The GCB formally denies this assertion, and has labeled it completely unfounded and mischievous,” the Cricket Board says.
In a disclaimer statement Dr. Sukhai noted “I wish to express my surprise at this fallacious report and hereby confirm my steadfast and ongoing commitment to the Bissondyal Singh-led Board. Since assuming the role of Treasurer in 2021, I have worked tirelessly to enhance the Board’s financial management achieving significant improvements ably supported by a committed team of professional full-time staff at the board office.”

Additionally, the article suggested that a long-serving GCB employee had resigned. In reality, this individual who has been with the Board for over 30 years is voluntarily retiring and not resigning as was inaccurately reported.
“While it is accurate that Vice-President Azad Ibrahim has stepped down from his position, he did so of his own volition,” the GCB said.

The GCB reaffirmed its dedication to transparency and accountability and emphasised the importance of verifying information prior to publication to prevent misleading the public and the stakeholders within Guyana’s cricketing fraternity.
