Az­im Bas­sarath will re­turn as pres­i­dent of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Crick­et Board on Oc­to­ber 25 when na­tion­al ex­ec­u­tive elec­tions are held for the gov­ern­ing body for the sport.

When nom­i­na­tions closed on Fri­day for the new 11-mem­ber ex­ec­u­tive, Bas­sarath, who has been at the helm since 2009, was the on­ly can­di­date putting his hat in the ring for the top job.

As a re­sult, he will re­tain the pres­i­den­cy un­op­posed for an un­prece­dent­ed sixth con­sec­u­tive term of of­fice af­ter de­thron­ing Deryck Mur­ray.

Al­so be­ing nom­i­nat­ed un­op­posed are Altaf Baksh for the po­si­tion of first vice-pres­i­dent, and at­tor­ney-at-law Hen­ry Chase for the du­ties as gen­er­al sec­re­tary.

There will be a toss-up for the sec­ond vice-pres­i­dent post as in­cum­bent Ker­win John, head of the To­ba­go Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion, faces a chal­lenge from for­mer na­tion­al crick­eter Ra­jen­dra Man­galie.

In­cum­bent third vice-present Paras­ram Singh comes up against Cen­tral Zone’s Avinash Su­ruj; while TTCB trea­sur­er Stephen Ramkissoon faces off with Richard Ramkissoon, own­er/coach of Cen­tral Sports Crick­et Club.

There are six can­di­dates nom­i­nat­ed for the po­si­tions of Ex­ec­u­tive Mem­bers from which five will be se­lect­ed.

They are Ann Browne-John, Mi­tra Ra­goo­nanan, Frank Sim­mons, Ravi Teeluck, Dr Anand Ram­per­sad, and Sharaz Mo­hammed.

The suc­cess­ful can­di­dates will serve a four-year term of of­fice.
