President of Demerara Cricket Board Raj Singh presents the bat to Akshaya Persaud.
The gears were obtained from friends of cricket in the US and the UK namely, Rick Lilman of Lehigh Acres of Florida and Victor Outar from the UK. Mr. Outar had also donated a bowling machine 2 years ago to the Demerara Cricket Board and hails from LBI on the East Coast of Demerara.
Mr Lilman is the captain of the Lehigh Indians Cricket Club in Florida and hails from the ancient county of Berbice and they have promised to continue supporting cricket and the youths in Guyana.
Akshaya was selected and represented Guyana at both the Under 15 and Under 17 regional tournaments played in Trinidad this year and performed creditably in the batting and bowling departments.
15 year old Akshaya originates from the Cornelia Ida area on the West Coast and is one of the brightest prospects in the area.
Akshaya promised to continue training so that he can develop into a better player. He attends the Swami College in that area and is in 4th form.
