The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) is poised to usher in a transformative era under the leadership of its newly appointed third vice-president, Avinash Suruj. Speaking during a recent TV6 program alongside TTCB general secretary Henry Chase, Suruj outlined his vision for the next four years, emphasizing grassroots development, technological innovation, and a rebranding of the board to align with modern sporting demands. Suruj, who secured his position by defeating veteran administrator Parasram Singh in a decisive 29-12 vote on October 25, stressed the importance of nurturing future cricket stars like Pollard, Narine, and Bravo by strengthening zonal structures and ensuring fair, transparent selection processes. He highlighted the critical role of zonal competitions in identifying talent for national teams, warning against political bias in selections. Suruj also underscored the need for modernization, particularly in digitizing scoring systems and administrative operations, to enhance efficiency and public confidence in the TTCB. His leadership aims to elevate the TTCB brand to new heights while fostering trust and participation at the community level.
