The Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre was the centre of attention when members of the Amazon Warriors team paid a visit to the institution on Friday, at its Carmichael Street location for an interactive session hosted by Digicel, proud sponsors of the current Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Cricket Tournament.

Among those present with Guptill were all-rounders Dwayne Smith and Christopher Barnwell, batsman Assad Fudadin, leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo and wicketkeeper Steven Katwaroo.
During the hour long session, the players’ engaged in deep conversation with the students signed branded Digicel caps and also shared expert knowledge on batting and bowling with the students.
In a brief exchange with the media, Bijlall-Sanichara disclosed that the event has been an annual one by the company ever since the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) started in 2013.
“This is something we always try to do whenever we have the players in Guyana, especially our Brand Ambassadors Christopher Barnwell and Devendra Bishoo,” she said.
She added that Digicel has always been supportive of special needs students, and will continue to do so through its various community programmes and outreaches.
“Special needs is something that is very close to our hearts at Digicel; it’s also close to the Warriors hearts as well, and we like to use the phrase ‘Warriors care.’ So this is one way of showing and exemplifying how the Warriors care,” she explained.
Digicel is a major sponsor of the Hero CPL, and is also a proud sponsor of West Indies cricket.
