Foster noted that junior players the likes of Shawn Pereira, Romario Shepherd, Shimron Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, Kevin Ramdeen, Arif Chan, Shailendra Shameer and Linden Austin have all improved due to the hard work of the Coaches at the Junior Elite Coaching sessions, Cricket Academy, Guyoil/Castrol Coaching Programmes and numerous clinics hosted by the BCB.
