THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) is delighted that President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali has been announced as the new Chair of the Caricom Sub-Committee on Cricket.
Outgoing Chairman Dr. Keith Rowley revealed this news on Friday, the closing day of the 48th Regional Heads of Government Meeting in Barbados.

Dr. Ali’s passion for cricket is well-documented, with significant investments of time and resources into the sport’s development across Guyana.

The GCB believes his chairmanship will significantly benefit West Indies cricket, enhancing both on-field performance and administrative practices.
Cricketing legend Sir Clive Lloyd has supported Dr. Ali’s selection, and praised the unique skills the President brings to the role.

His commitment to cricket is evident through his substantial funding of equipment, academies, and infrastructure, showcasing a dedication that stands as a model for development across the Caribbean.
The GCB congratulates Dr. Ali on this deserving appointment, and anticipates positive outcomes during his tenure. This is particularly true, given the current struggles of regional cricket, highlighted by the West Indies’ absence from the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy Tournament.

With Dr. Ali’s strategic leadership and deep understanding of the sport, the GCB is optimistic about revitalising West Indies cricket under his guidance.
