Digicel sponsored West Indies cricketer, Chris Gayle, said at the launch of the Digicel Cricket Clinics in BVI: “I’m delighted to be here to help launch the Digicel Cricket Clinics.

This is a fantastic initiative that gives us the chance to coach talented young cricketers. It is really important that they have opportunities like this to learn from great coaches such as Keith Arthurton, as these young cricketers are the future of West Indies cricket.”
Digicel BVI CEO, Alan Bates, said: “Digicel is delighted to be launching the second Digicel Cricket Clinics here in the British Virgin Islands. We are committed to supporting the development of cricket at all levels and we want to give young West Indian cricketers every opportunity to develop their skills.
