Two high ranking New York Region cricket officials sent letters out on Tuesday to US cricket stakeholders, urging them to band together and bring positive changes to the way the sport is run in the country. New York regional chairman Lester Hooper and Eastern American Cricket Association league president Rudy Persaud are some of the first people from outside the USA Cricket Association board to speak up against the recent actions of the USACA president Gladstone Dainty.
"I do not meddle in politics, but people USAC how you sit, like a game you love is destroyed at the national level and a wider regional basis?" Hooper wrote a letter to the presidents of the league throughout the country. "President Dainty unilateral decisions ultimately cost us the price, we can not afford." Hooper has also written a separate letter directly to the suspension of the protest Dainty USAC Secretary John Aaron.
USAC gave a brief statement on its website that the former Indian all-rounder Robin Singh will coach U.S. women's ICC Women's World Cup qualifier next month in Bangladesh. Robin Linden to replace Fraser, who had worked most of the U.S. women's team to its base in New York in January. USAC President of the Commission Krish Cricket Prasad said that has not participated in the decision to withdraw the Fraser, and that was another example of Dainty made a unilateral decision. Dismissal Fraser seems to have been the last straw Hooper and Persaud, each of which gave the letters within 24 hours after the news.
"When the President of the 'Eastern American Cricket Association - one of the oldest members of the championships and the New York Cricket Region, I am painfully aware of the embarrassment caused by our national body - USAC," said Persaud. "It hurts associated with a body, which leads to Mr. Gladstone Dainty, which I think is so rude and dictatorial.
"While the presidents of the league, we are choosing the members of the Board USAC national and regional, and now I do not trust Mr. Dainty the ability to conduct or represent my USAC League ICC. I'm not afraid to stand up and talk about bad things that are affecting the USAC this year and that is why I ask you to stand up and speak, because, as the saying goes, if you do not stand for something, will not fall. Let us be together, so that we can not but Mr. Dainty , makes the sport of cricket in this country. "
Hooper, who is the brother of former West Indies captain Carl Hooper, criticized the decision to hire Robin on short notice, saying that Fraser thrown away asking economic governance, which threatens to leave more than a dozen member of the U.S. team in Bangladesh Tour refuse to accept a scholarship tour, which is considerably less than the men's team is. Hooper also said that Robin will have to earn their money, "contributing to the development of the United States cricket," rather than "get a day or two before the tournament and did not know the players." Robin has coached the U.S. U-19 team this summer's ICC World Cup Qualifier-19 in Ireland, where the team finished seventh, is not eligible for next year U-19 World Cup in Australia.
"Is Robin to run anything with them in the near future? Will Robin will direct our local coaches? T he opening of sessions in different areas? The only time I heard the name Robin Singh is just before a U.S. team continues its tour. Folks this is unacceptable, "wrote Hooper. He called the league presidents to speak, if another team chain US Women's will be "the biggest joke on the qualifiers for the World Cup."
"I urge the Regional Directors and League Presidents not to make it easier to conduct presidential Dainty," wrote Hooper. "Send a message to him that we all want to keep a united front in defense of cricket in the United States and the organization USACE. Otherwise, I promise you that people outside the United States will decide for you. "
