Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster at the launching ceremony, stated that Berbice Cricket was enjoying a remarkable period on the cricket field with tournaments being played at all levels on a scale that is unmatched in the history of the game in Berbice. He expressed gratitude to the Management of Universal DVD and Universal Solutions for its continued investment in Berbice Cricket.
Foster stated that the tournament is expected to be of the highest standard as all the county’s senior players like Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Narsingh Deonarine, Veerasammy Permaul, Gajanand Singh, Brendon Bess and Devendra Bishoo would be part of the tournament.
Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board Competitions Committee, Carl Moore, expressed the view that the tournament would allow the senior players to properly prepare for the upcoming WICB Regional Tournament in early 2013. Moore expressed confidence that the 20/20 tournament would be successful as the first edition which was held in 2011.
Representative of Universal DVD and Universal solutions Ashwin Carpen expressed his Company’s pleasure at being once again associated with the Berbice Cricket Board as it was without doubt the leading Cricket Board in the Caribbean. He called on the twelve clubs to play the game in its traditional way of commitment and discipline.
