THE Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) senior four-day Inter-County competition which was scheduled to commence today, has been put on hold until further notice. According to a release from the GCB, the move was forced upon them due to the recent inclement weather which has left venues throughout Guyana water-logged.
On Thursday the Board released the squads of the four teams participating in the competition and fixtures which had two matches set to commence today.
Those matches would have seen the Guyana U-19s take on Berbice at the Enmore Community Centre ground and Essequibo versus Demerara at the Wales Community Centre ground.
The second round was billed for May 21-24 with the Berbice and Demerara clash at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground and the Essequibo versus Guyana U-19s battle at Wales.
