(GUYANA CHRONICLE)TORONTO, Canada – Ontario’s Women’s Cricket Development Advocate Abigail Rajkumar whose work involves promoting cricket development within the communities while still being an executive of the Superstars Sports Club, women’s, junior and youth teams manager, cricket tournament host, public relations officer and coordinator, is aiming to be the first woman to head Cricket Canada.
The Trinidadian-born Rajkumar, who migrated to Canada just over 30 years ago, is among the four eligible nominated candidates for the election to Cricket Canada’s Board Of Directors (BOD) at the 2017 Annual General Meeting, set for Saturday and Sunday here.
She will, however, face stiff challenges from long-standing and current president Ranjit Saini, Bilal Syed and Manzoor Chaudharry. Rajkumar has also thrown her hat in the vice-presidency race.
Currently the Registrar/Statistician of the Scarborough Cricket Association and also a qualified Canada Cricket Umpires Association (CCUA) Level One umpire, Rajkumar is credited solely with providing endless opportunities for both the women and young male members of Superstars, always striving to promote development at both levels through her passion and impeccable leadership, organisation and management skills.
Along with president and head coach Frank Persaud, the two have been in the forefront of the club’s success in the field of coaching and mentoring since 2009.
Rajkumar is not just content with playing cricket but is also an International Cricket Council (ICC) Level One coach and holds the National Coaching Certificate Programme (NCCP) coaching certificate. She is also a Cricket Canada volunteer school coach and was the Toronto 2015 official cricket coordinator for PanAm/Parapan Am Games.
In 2012, Rajkumar served as the victorious manager for Cricket Canada women’s team at ICC Americas women tournament in Grand Cayman Islands, and is the women’s coordinator on Mississauga Cricket League.
Between 1995 and 1997 she was the team sponsor, manager, scorer and treasurer of GTA Warriors Windball men’s cricket team in the Scarborough softball league and earned the best scorer trophy from the league each year.
In November 2009 Rajkumar had the opportunity to visit Delhi and Mumbai, India for three weeks, for cricket training with the Madan Lall Cricket Academy and also had the chance of embracing the culture, history, cuisine and people of India, an experience she describes as a life-changing journey.
Rajkumar was hired as Cricket Canada women’s team manager/coordinator for the 2012 ICC Americas women’s tournament in Cayman Islands, a tournament Canada won among competing teams from USA, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Argentina.
Rajkumar firmly believes “there are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either in or out. There is no such thing in life as in-between,” and she has been quite exemplary in fulfilling those options.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

She certainly seems to have the experience and the commitment to do the job, and if no one is running against her I believe it's because they don't think they stand a chance.

All I can say is go! go for it Rajkumar! Though am not a gender opinionated fellow, there is something refreshing about a lady making it to the pinnacle, she will break a record of sorts. She undoutedly has her roots deeply ensconced in cricket and I believe she will have a unique input in the institution. She should have a wealth of experience garnered in and off field. Her legacy should be aiming to do things out of the box, that,s how change comes.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 14:52)(14:52)0
