The group was first approached by Albion, one of the leading cricket clubs in Berbice and Guyana, who convinced them to assist in having young cricketers being involved in two-innings matches to develop their cricket more than just playing limited-over games all the time.
The businessmen raised one million Guyana dollars ($1,000,000) among them and recently presented the Cheque to the Albion Club who involved the Berbice Cricket Board to organise and run the competition with the vast experience that it has in running competitions successfully.
The Names of Group Sponsors in this businessmen/entities who are partaking in this venture are:
Mr. Bhola Ramsundar  –  Proprietor of Bhola Travel Service, Queens New York.
Mr. Dave Narine  –  Manager of Dave’s West Indian Imports, New York.

Mr. Insaf Ali  –  Owner of 2’A Mechanical Corporation, New York.
Mr. Ralph Tamesh  –  Manager of Information Technology at Coffee Distributing Corporation.

The winning team will receive the first prize of one hundred thousand dollars ($100, 000) and a beautiful trophy; the Runner-up $50, 000 and a trophy; Man of the Match, two Best Batsman and Best Bowler of the final will pick up $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000 respectively as well as trophies. Also receiving trophies will be the cricketers adjudged as Best Bowler, best batsman, best allrounder and best wicket-keeper in the competition.
The preliminary matches will be of one day’s duration and to ensure that each match has a result, the first innings for both teams in all the matches will be limited to fifty (50) Overs.
The Quarter-finals, Semi-finals and Final with no-limitation to the first innings will be two-day matches with a third day set aside for the quarters and semis to ensure that there will at least be first innings decisions.
