friend of Berbice cricket and he is from the United States of America. His name is Dalchand Rambharose, a former resident of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice and a keen follower of Berbice cricket.
In a message sent through his father who was present, Mr Deonarine Rambharose, he said he always had a keen interest in cricket in general with Berbice Cricket having a special place in his heart. The message added that he is always impressed with the work of the Berbice Board despite the limited resources. He added that the BCB is the shining light in an otherwise chaotic situation in Guyana and West Indies cricket. He blamed the International Cricket Council (ICC) for not intervening in Guyana’s cricket and resolve the issues. He said that the ICC should have done the same as FIFA with football. He mentioned that he was closely following the BCB recently held election and had no doubt that Anil Beharry would have been the winner for he is the best man for the job. When he learned of the results and saw the promise made by Beharry, he thought that helping with the school cricket might be the best option.
Speaking on behalf of the BCB, the president thanked Mr Rambharose for sponsoring this important competition that was missing for so many years. He said that the nursery level is important so as to bring back interest to the youngsters and at the same time give the clubs an opportunity to do talent spotting. The board hopes that more international players will be born out of this tournament. He reminded that the school system in the past produced several outstanding cricketers. He added that the interest is high among teachers, parents and students for the ongoing A Ally and Sons Under-17 Schools Cricket Competition and said the Under-15 will be no different. Special mention was made of Miss Volaika Jaikishun for supporting the idea and her ministry for approving the tournament.
Miss Jaikishun was present and said that physical fitness increases mental alertness and will surely help the kids to be more successful academically, provided they maintain the balance. She said the ministry will always support sports in schools for it helps with their discipline and gives them the opportunity to mix with others.
