The Malay Cricket Association of Malaysia (MCAM) wants to know why their candidates were never selected to attend Curators' courses organized by Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and other organizations.
MCAM Secretary General, Rosmanizam Abdullah (picture), in his letter to the Malaysian Cricket Association (MCA), asked why this is so even though their venue, Bayueman Oval has always hosted international events.
"There was even an Advance Curators course held in Bayuemas. I do not know why candidates from Malay Cricket have never been given an opportunity to attend any of the courses," said Rosmanizam in his letter to MCA Honorary Secretary, S, Sivanandan, Saturday.
"I therefore appeal to MCA to consider two of our trainee curator at Bayuemas Oval to attend c ourses by the Asian Cricket Council or any other organizations," said Rosmanizam.

According to Rosmanizam, both the trainee curators are former Under 19 players who are still playing but have chosen a career which they understand. They are Hafiz Zaman Huri and Fauzi Ariffin.
"Since the opening of Bayuemas Oval on 21 October 2004, Malay Cricket have asked for support for these courses but yet to get a favourable response. MCA should stop sending foreigners who work in Malaysia to attend these courses because it does not bring any long term gain for cricket," added Rosmanizam.
Certainly seems unfair to me especially when we all know that MMCA is doing more for cricket than any other organisation in the country, including MCA. And providing a career path as curators for plyers and ex-playes? Fantastic MMCA. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteWell Ros, the truth is the Malaysian Cricket Association has still the colonial mindset - where the foreigner is better than the locals. They simply doesn't care 2 hoots whether Malaysian cricket under a local can survive. It's this type of mentality that you need to get rid off before its too late in your sport or any other sports in matter of fact. Present your case and fight for the rights to send locals to the courses. When are we going to be curator of our own associations or sporting games when foreigner is being given the rein by our own people?! It's hogwash!
