Azeem Khan returns as OMSCC President

HAVING served previously as President and, more recently, Over-50 Coordinator, Azeem Karamat Khan is back at the helm of the Ontario Masters Softball Cricket Clubs (OMSCC).
Khan was elected unopposed as President at Sunday’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), held at the Birkdale Community Centre, Scarborough, Ontario.

The experienced Khan, who is also President of the Ontario Twilight Softball Cricket League (OTSCL), in his acceptance speech, disclosed that he’s pleased to be back as the leader of the OMSCC although he had never lost touch with the body.
Khan expressed gratitude to the members for the trust entrusted in him once more to manage the league consisting of 21 teams – Over-50, Division One Over-40 and Division 2 Over-40.

The returning President, while acknowledging the services of the outgoing Board Members, heaped praise on Frederick Halley, the League’s Umpire Coordinator, who did not seek re-election at the meeting, Kim Sue who not only performed the duties of Treasurer but someone who is recognised for her continuous support for cricket and special Guyanese community events in the Greater Toronto Area and outgoing President Orin O’Neil, for his invaluable work of managing the League for the past two years. O’Neil was also praised for his time and on-hands activities he voluntarily offered to the teams outside his official duties.

Reminiscing on his journey in the OMSCC, Khan disclosed that he was elected Secretary in 2003 and has held various positions, including President for four consecutive years.
Khan welcomed the new Board Members, Indira Singh who was elected as the new Treasurer, Khem Singh, Asst. Secretary/Treasurer and Bobby Ramlagan, Umpires Coordinator.

While Indira and Khem were previous members of the Board as the Player Management Coordinator and Secretary respectively, Ramlagan is a new addition.
Based on the OMSCC’ Constitution, Hardatt Ramcharran and Amit Bacchus remained in their respective posts of Vice-president and Secretary respectively while Terry Mathura, who was appointed Player Management/Statistician following the 2023 AGM, was unanimously confirmed in the position.

Khan thanked his fellow Board Members and reiterated his management style of team-engagement for a great 2024 season and reminded those present that plans are in progress for another successful International Softball Tournament, the Canada Cup 2, managed by the OTSCL, over the Labour Day weekend, August 30 to September 1, in Toronto. Meanwhile, the OMSCC 2024 season is set to bowl off on Saturday, May 25.
