The remarkable success of Berbice cricket over the last few years continues with the test debut of Veerasammy Permaul for the West Indies during the first test vs. Bangladesh. Permaul became the 17th Berbician and the sixth since 2004, to represent the Caribbean at the test level. The Albion Cricket Club has produced four of those players- Permaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Devendra Bishoo and Sewnarine Chattergoon with Brandon Bess and Assad Fudadin being the others.
The BCB salutes Permaul on his test debut and wishes him a successful tenure on the international level. His journey to the top has been based on sheer hard work, discipline, commitment and a strong desire to be the best, and the BCB would like to encourage him to remember this formula at all times. Congrats to the Albion Cricket Club on its achievement of producing its fifth test cricketer, the board said in a release.
The continuous production of test, ODI, A-Team and female cricketers for the West Indies from the ancient county, is the result of visionary leadership and programmes along with the hard work of everyone involved. We are confident that more test players would emerge shortly as the BCB guides their career along via our numerous cricketing programmes and tournaments. Once again, congratulations to Veerasammy Permaul and may God continue to bless and guide him on the way to mere success, the release ended.
