Statement by the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc.
The executives and members of the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc. (GSCL Inc.) are saddened by the untimely passing of Lakeram Singh of Mike’s Wellman Softball Cricket Team.
GSCL wishes to extend sympathies to the immediate family of Singh, the staff of Mike’s Pharmacy, his former teammates and by extension the entire cricket fraternity on the passing of the softball cricket stalwart.
The death of ‘Mike’, as he is called, has placed a damper on the ongoing Florida Cup in Fort Lauderdale, but as a league we will dedicate the rest of the tournament to our beloved friend who was on his maiden tour with Mike’s Wellman.
Our prayers are with this wife, children, other relatives and many friends at this difficult time.
At the time of his death, Singh, who was fondly called Shane Warne because of the huge turning leg breaks, was leading his side in their second preliminary round match of the Florida Cup 2022.
The businessman collapsed on the field after bowling his spell. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died.
We have lost a true gentleman who was a fierce competitor on the field. ‘Mikey’ died while doing what he loved.
Rest in peace ‘Mikey.’ Until we meet again. Well played champion.
