He lauded Enterprise Busta SC for the contribution to cricket and spoke about fairplay, doping, violence and education. He said that for West Indies cricket to return to the glory days we must produce quality players on a regular basis. “No stone should be left unturned to produce world class players-players who can perform on the international stage, players who are capable of competing with and dominating the best players in the world consistently, we all have a role to play on this journey,” he posited.
“Awardees you have worked hard for success, however you must keep striving for repeated and consistent success and the achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.”
