In a groundbreaking move aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of local umpires, the Georgetown Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association (GCUSA) in collaboration with Caribbean Premier League (CPL), and CPL Match Officials, has organised a unique programme for cricket umpires in Guyana. The initiative provides local umpires with invaluable exposure to television umpiring. The programme, which kicked off on September 25, involves a series of interactive sessions led by experienced CPL match officials. Participants are being exposed to the intricacies of using television technology to make accurate decisions in cricket matches. The focus is on understanding the various roles and flow of the decision-making process involved in modern-day umpiring. 
Umpire Chandraban Rajnarine (centre) was the first to benefit from the programme “This is a fantastic opportunity for our local umpires to learn from the best in the business,” Ryan Banwari, President of the Georgetown Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association, said. “By gaining insights into television umpiring, they will be better equipped to handle the challenges of the modern game and contribute to the development of cricket in Guyana.” The CPL Match Officials expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, jointly saying, “It’s important to nurture young talent and provide them with the necessary tools to succeed. By being able to share knowledge and experience, they hope to inspire the next generation of umpires.”

I’ve always admired the way TV umpires handle the use of technology to make decisions. Learning from the experts has given me a whole new perspective on the game and will continue to motivate me moving forward,” Rajnarine said. “I’m now more confident in my abilities and feel better prepared to take on bigger challenges in the future. I want to thank the GCUSA, CPL and the CPL Match officials who were very welcoming and accommodating to me during the process. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and hope to see more initiatives like this in the future.” The programme continues throughout the remaining CPL matches of the Guyana leg with umpires from the different counties participating in every match until the end of the tournament.
