Singh topped his rival Bishwa Panday 15-12 in the GCB poll during the annual general meeting at the Georgetown Town Cricket Club on Sunday afternoon. Singh thanked Panday for serving Guyana's cricket and vowed to continue his work to develop the sport in the country. "There are many things to be completed including an indoor facility and the (GCB) hostel," Singh said after his reelection.

"She embraces everything we try to teach the students. She's still very successful academically, and she's really excelled at being a true Sikh." The school was founded two years ago to celebrate and incorporate Punjabi culture and the Sikh religion into an educational setting, and Hannah was part of its inaugural enrolment group.
