Ravin Moorthy is Cricket Canada’s newest president (Share News)

Ron Fanfair profiles the new president:-

The deciding factor in Ravin Moorthy succeeding Ranjit Saini as Cricket Canada’s new president may never be known. With each candidate securing nine votes, it was up to the delegates from the nine provinces to come up with a tiebreaker because there is no mechanism in the constitution that addresses the breaking of a deadlock….By secret ballot, the delegates unlocked the tie in Moorthy’s favour making him – at age 35 – one of the youngest presidents in the organization’s 120-year history….
Moorthy came to Canada in 1981 as a five-year-old with his Sri Lankan-born father and Malaysian mother and settled in Calgary…. Moorthy played club cricket in Calgary and represented Alberta at the Under-19 level before serving on the Calgary & District Cricket League executive. In his five years on Cricket Canada’s executive, he served as second and first vice-president and high performance manager before assuming the presidency.”
