From Cricket Canada website:-
\nCricket Canada has announced sweeping changes across the organization coming out of the recent Annual General Meeting in Halifax in March. Cricket Canada president, Ravin Moorthy, \u00a0was pleased with the unified approach the board of directors has taken to modernize the organization<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are facing significant pressures in the organization and in order to respond adequately we needed to modernize and take some tangible steps forward\u201d said Moorthy.
\n
\nMajor highlights of the changes that can be expected to take hold this year:<\/p>\n
Clear division between policy and operational control of the organization
\n\u00b7Day to day business of the organization will be managed by the Chief Executive and his staff. The staff will include a team of \u2018hired\u2019volunteers
\nConsolidation of the Cricket Canada Board of Directors from 17 to 7 members\u00a0 – this in addition to changes in the membership will allow Cricket Canada to comply with the new government guidelines for Not-for-profits
\nVetting of nominations for directorship positions by a nominations committee
\nTerm limits on positions
\nCreating minimum qualification of standards for selectors for all teams
\nThe move on selection has been a long standing issue between Cricket Canada and the International Cricket Council dating back through several administrations.<\/p>\n
Moorthy was pleased with the boards support. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just a matter of ticking a box, it\u2019s a matter of good governance and was pleased to see the directors back us on a policy that no longer requires regionalism and electoral dealings to appoint selectors. \u201c<\/p>\n
Under the new approved policy, Cricket Canada\u2019s selection panel will consist of members with minimum first class or international playing experience and will have to apply and be \u2018hired\u2019 on fixed terms. This policy will be implemented across all of Cricket Canada\u2019s playing programs.<\/p>\n
Cricket Canada Chief Executive Officer Doug Hannum is upbeat about the organization moving forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve put ourselves in a position to move forward with a fully professional team and we\u2019re looking forward to the challenge. \u00a0The moves made at the AGM are a direct result of the strategic planning initiative we put forward last year and it is starting to bear fruit\u201d<\/p>\n
After completing a successful AGM, Moorthy was realistic about the challenges faced in the short term,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve managed to modernize the structure and bring it in-line with accepted business practices. While we can now say we\u2019ve made administrative progress, we are now firmly focused on the field and our full support is behind our high performance team for the qualifiers ahead in 2013 and 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cricket Canada now looks forward to a summer schedule which opens with Canada’s premier domestic tournament, the National Cricket League from June 23rd \u2013 July 1st before shifting toward international fixtures with the Auty Cup vs USA in late July, and ICC World Cricket League and ICUP matches with UAE and HOLLAND in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
