VICE-PRESIDENT of the Scarborough Cricket Association (SCA), Guyana-born Bisham Singh, has called on members to follow the league’s Playing Rules and not import other leagues’ rules into the SCA.
In his report, presented at the SCA Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday, Singh pointed out that the importing of rules not only cause confusion, but disruption of games. Singh promised that the Rules Committee, which he chairs, will revisit the playing rules for the last playing season and make any

necessary changes/additions. “The updates will be communicated to the members prior to the Captain’s Table while a zoom meeting will be arranged for all captains to go through the rules prior to the Captain’s Table.”
Despite the ongoing challenges, Singh said the past season was great for the development of cricket in the SCA. “The Elite Champions of the SCA along with other member Leagues Champions are invited to a Cricket Ontario tournament. As a reflection of this, the SCA continues to attract applications for several new teams…”

Singh, who was recently inducted into the SCA Hall of Fame for his years of yeoman service to the association, joined President Shiv Persaud in lamenting the lack of facilities to complement the growth in the association.
He felt that it was important for members to be proactive in working with their Councillors in their Wards in Scarborough and Durham Regions for improvements of existing facilities and getting new ones built so as to accommodate growth.

The vice-president thanked his fellow executives for their support throughout the season as well as the Canada Cricket Umpires Association (CCUA) members for their service to the SCA. “On a personal note, I will like to thank the SCA Executives and members for bestowing on me the prestigious SCA Hall of Fame recognition for over 34 years of service to the SCA Board.”

Singh, who is also chairman of the SCA Disciplinary Committee, extended sincere thanks to the members who gave their time and effort to be at the committee hearings throughout the season.
