President of the Guyana Cricket Board, Bissoondyal Singh
President Bissoondyal Singh pointed out that “the GCB can ill afford to play franchise leagues in place of the Inter-County tournaments. Both the Cricket Administration Act, 2014, and the constitution of the Guyana Cricket Board give the County Boards supremacy over other Cricket Associations, Committees, and potential legal franchises. As a result, the GCB holds the view that Senior Inter-County Cricket must be played annually regardless of the existence of additional tournaments which can be used to feed players into our coveted Inter-County tournament. It is against this backdrop that we have outlined in our five-year strategic plan the need to conduct Inter-County Championship tournaments for all levels of cricket where there are CWI Regional tournaments. Our aim at the GCB is to administer cricket in an impartial manner, giving opportunities to all those who participate in the game across the depth and breadth of Guyana. As the President of GCB, I am proud to announce that Senior Inter-County Cricket will return to our competition structure from October 9, 2022. I reiterate that Senior Inter-County cricket tournament is here to stay. It will be an annual feature and aspiring senior cricketers will have another avenue to showcase their skills and abilities with a view of donning national colours with pride.”
The final of the GCB One-Day 50-over tournament will be played at the Albion Community Centre ground under floodlights.
