In support of Professor Daizal Samad
Dear Editor,
I write on behalf of Berbice Cricketers, especially current and former test players. I write about the situation at the University of Guyana Berbice Campus. The Director, Professor Daizal Samad has resigned. This places our Campus at serious risk of falling.
We know Dr. Samad as someone that helps all young and experienced cricketers. When we want someone to talk to, he is there. We do not have to make appointments. We stop by the Campus, and we see him almost immediately. No one in this country does that.
Every time there is a cricket competition, he comes forward with trophies and prizes. But he also helps the young cricketers with gears, often using his own money. This man never asks us for anything in return.
Only a few weeks ago, Dr. Samad was instrumental in getting one of our great Berbice prospects to go to Canada to play top league cricket. This was done quietly in an amazingly short time.
We express full support and ask Berbicians to insist that this honorable gentleman return to us and continue to develop sports and education in Berbice.
We cricketers cannot imagine us all sitting back and seeing such a man and such a scholar leave. Mr. President, you need to act.
Mahendra Nagamottoo
