Central North cricket: Constitution amended to cater for online meetings

Psarakis said that at the Central North Cricket Zone's annual general meeting on Sunday, a new constitution was enacted that called for "more communication between officials".

"The constitution was changed to allow us to hold these Zoom meetings," he said.

He added: "Before, it was basically face-to-face or email. Now they've added the new modern way of [doing it]."

Psarakis said the rise of online meetings had "totally" been beneficial to the game's development.

Because previously, he said, many officials had to travel long distances to attend lengthy meetings.

"But now it can be done from the comfort of their own home, or their business," he said.

"So it's a lot easier, and you can communicate a lot better. It's made a huge difference."

Psarakis said Central North planned to have a regular representative season in 2021-22 despite the uncertainty surrounding sport because of the pandemic.

However, he said the annual October long-weekend junior carnival in Tamworth was in doubt.

The carnival, he continued, would involve 174 players, officials and umpires.

"That's the one that we'd like to see go ahead, because it benefits the Tamworth economy," he said.

"But at this stage we're, again, controlled by whatever happens [with NSW Health's COVID directives]. But we are planning to have it."
