NEW Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) President Azad Ibrahim and his fellow executives have set February 11 as the date for resumption of cricket in the City of Georgetown.

“Please note the weather pattern seems to be changing for the sunny period and as such please start getting your grounds ready and notify your players as we look to resume all cricket on the Saturday 11th February, 2023” informed Shawn Massiah.

Massiah, re-elected as Chairman of the Competitions Committee at the recently held AGC and Elections, said a meeting will be held prior to the resumption.

“Please also note that the transfer window period will be closed on January 31, 2023.

Please use this time to put together your updated list of registered players for the period 2023/2024 and submit same to the Chairman Competitions Committee on or before February 9, 2023” Massiah advised.

Let’s all unite and help to get our cricket up and running. All the best for a successful year of cricket and more cricket, as we strive to utilise all of the sunny period we may have during this year and beyond,” said Massiah, who still plays competitively for the Transport Sport Club.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim from the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) replaced Neil Barry at the helm after he did not seek re-election.
