National U-15 batsman receives cricket equipment
National Under-15 batsman, Bhaskar Yadram, was recently presented with a quantity of cricket equipment, as he prepares to represent Guyana in the West Indies Cricket Board Regional Under-15 competition in competition.
National Under-15 batsman Bhaskar Yadram receives the gear from one of the donors, Ashmeed Baksh. Sharing the moment are, from left, coach Clive Grimmond and other members of GYO. At extreme right is the young player’s father, Seemangal Yadram.
Guyana will take on the Windward Islands at Conaree with action set to bowl off at 10:00 hours today.
Yadram, who is a right-handed batsman, right-arm off-spinner and capable wicketkeeper, has benefited from the benevolence of Patrick Hardyal and Ashmeed Baksh, both ex-members of the Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO). Yadram, who turns 13 in September, is a member of GYO.
Hardyal presented the teenager with a bat, while Baksh donated a gear bag and a pair of batting gloves. Yadram thanked the donors for the equipment, noting that he will make maximum use of them on his first trip with the national team.
He also promised to put in a good performance and help Guyana win the title this year. Yadram also took the opportunity to express gratitude to Chatterpaul Singh of the Enterprise Busta Sports Club for assisting him in his preparations for the competition.
Yadram gained his selection to the national team following a brilliant all-round performance in the Georgetown Cricket Association Under-15 competition earlier this year. He chalked up 326 runs and captured 16 wickets.
The competition will consist of 15 two-day matches at three venues and under rules tailor made for junior cricket.
