Jagoo returns as board plans way ahead

The annual general meeting of the Canadian Cricket Association (CCA) has re-elected Ramesh Jagoo as a vice-president, a little over a year after he was booted off the executive committee.

Jagoo was one of three VPs elected - Howard Petrook and Cliff Cox were the others - at the CCA's annual general meeting in Mississauga. "It's certainly good to be back and be able to serve Canadian cricket," Jagoo told share.com. "I like the direction in which this board is heading and I believe I could use my knowledge and experience to assist them in moving forward with their vision."

Traddie Simpson was officially appointed as the new treasurer, a role he has been filling informally since Charles Pais's departure in January. "Nobody wanted the treasurer position, so I chose to accept it because I felt I could make a contribution there," Simpson told share.com. "It was a lot easier to get a VP than a treasurer."

"When we assessed our financial state earlier this year, we realized that we were in dire financial straits," explained Ben Sennik, the CCA's president. "Within a matter of days in the position, Traddie was able to incorporate excellent accounting systems, thus providing the basis for the board to receive monthly financial statements and virtually day to day monitoring of the finances."
