NAGICO sponsorship would cover expenses for accommodation, meals, transportation and a One-Day Seminar with one hundred persons. Berbice Cricket Board President Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the historic visit, expressed gratitude to Mr. Imran Mc Sood Amjad for his timely support and also to former Berbice Cricket Board Secretary Oscar Ramjeet for working beyond the call of duty to assist Berbice Cricket.
