Presenting the balls to Hubern Evans, BCB executive and former national all rounder, was Javed Mohamed, the son of Sheik Mohamed. Young Mohamed, himself a former national youth player, said that he and his father follows the work of the Berbice Cricket Board very closely and are always impressed with the amount of energy the board members put into their cricket. He added that they both love the game very much and will always give back to help produce not only cricketers but good sports ambassadors in general.
Evans in response thanked Sheik Mohamed and his family for their kind gesture and said that based on the feedback he gets many Berbice cricketers, cricket clubs and even the BCB can go to Tiger Sports for help and help is always given.
