President of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Umpires Council, Kellman Kowlessar has been elected chairman of the Central Zonal Council at the zone’s annual general meeting (AGM) held recently.
Kowlessar, who was the previous vice-chairman of the area, said he wants to continue developing youth cricketers and will also focus on developing clubs in the area.
Also elected during the AGM were Kevin Clarke, who will serve as vice president; Vyash Nandlal, who is the zone secretary; and Fareed Khan, who will serve as treasurer.
The Central Zone youth teams had great success this season, reaching the inter-zone finals, with the U-17 and U-19 teams successfully winning their respective competitions.
Kowlessar said: “The Central Zone has the potential to be a model zone not only in Trinidad and Tobago, but in the Caribbean. We have the skills; we have the enthusiasm and I believe we have the right team to execute.”
