Secretary of the GCB, Anand Sanasie, reminded all that this outreach started last year with the aim of having all cricket clubs across the country in possession of the relevant cricket gears so players who cannot afford all of them can have access to them to train and develop their skills. He noted that so far the Board has reached Bayrock Club and UDCA in Linden, the various associations in Essequibo, some clubs on the East Bank of Demerara and some clubs in Berbice. The Secretary stated that this outreach will continue as the Executive Body of the GCB is committed towards the development of cricket in Guyana.
Delbert Hicks, a member of Rosehall Youth and Sport Club, thanked the GCB for granting their request for assistance with cricket gears as a part of their Jubilee celebrations. He said the gears would help the club a great deal. He also assured the President and Secretary that they would use the gears meaningfully.
Representatives from the other Clubs, Mustafaa Azimulla (Better Hope), Christopher Singh (Lusignan) and Jitlall Jowharilall (Enterprise), thanked the Board for the donation and promised to use the gears with utmost care. They added that they hope to be beneficiaries again in the near future.
