In an act of benevolence, Cricket Zone, located at the bottom flat of the Fogarty’s building on Water Street, on Monday presented a quantity of gear to national senior cricketers, Rajendra Chandrika and Amir Khan, as they prepare to represent Guyana in the Regional Four-day and Super50 competitions.

Amir Khan (3rd left) and Rajendra Chandrika (2nd right), receive their gear from Theresa Foster. Sharing the moment are from right, Ravi Etwaroo, Charles Adams and Sahadeo Ramkirath.

At a simple presentation ceremony, opening batsman Chandrika was presented with thigh pad and a pair of footwear, while leg-spinner Khan received a pair of batting gloves and pads.
Overseas-based Guyanese, Ravi Etwaroo, the proprietor of Cricket Zone, said he’s very pleased to support the two youngsters, whom he pointed out have tremendous potential.
Etwaroo, who also runs a branch of Cricket Zone in New York, added that apart from their natural talents, both Chandrika and Khan have displayed high levels of discipline on and off the field of play.
“And I personally want to wish both young men all the best in the upcoming regional tournament, and hopefully they can enhance their chances of playing for the West Indies,” Etwaroo said.
This is not the first time that Cricket Zone has thrown its support behind young and promising cricketers, and Etwaroo assured that his entity will continue to offer assistance in the future. He used the opportunity to invite cricketers to visit Cricket Zone, as the company will continue to import quality brands and genuine equipment at an affordable price.
In accepting the donation, Chandrika and Khan expressed gratitude to Etwaroo, while promising to deliver good performances during the upcoming regional competitions, which bowl off this week at various territories across the Caribbean.
Chief Financial Officer of Fogarty’s, Sahadeo Ramkirath, said the establishment is pleased to partner with Cricket Zone in helping the duo in their cricketing endeavours. Also present at the presentation ceremony were Compliance Officer Theresa Foster and Senior Supervisor (Sports Section) Charles Adams, both of Fogarty’s.
