LinkGuyana Cricket Board (GCB) President Chetram Singh ended months of speculation when he told Stabroek Sport yesterday that he will not be seeking re-election at January’s Annual General Meeting.
Singh, 61, who is also a West Indies Cricket Board Director, said that he will not be elaborating on this position at the moment but around December 15 or 16.
According to Singh, he will be submitting a comprehensive report which will reflect his 19-year tenure at the head of the GCB, which has been plagued with serious problems.
Singh told Stabroek Sport he wanted to end all speculation and these would be his final days in office. With this announcement the door is wide open for other candidates unless Singh decides to make a last minute bid as was the case last year.
And from all indications from Singh and some other sources in the GCB, it was relayed that “it will be his last year.” According to the sources the persons who are interested in the post are current Marketing Manager of the GCB Ramsay Ali, Vice President Bissoondial Singh and former GCB General Secretary Bishwa Panday.
Still, some sources said that Singh has left his own legacy in the sport of cricket and administration of the game in Guyana.
Who would be a good candidate for this position?
