Bissan’s Trading of 94 King Street Georgetown has come on board the sponsorship team in support of this year’s two-week Malteenoes Cricket Academy which starts on July 23.
Proprietor of Bissan’s Trading, Bissoon Singh, said he played some cricket at GCC as a leg-spinner before getting into Cricket Administration because he wants to help the development of cricket in Guyana especially on the East Coast of Demerara where he holds a prominent position in the Cricket.
“This is a great concept and I know how much the youngsters will learn from this and hopefully some players from this Academy will go on to play at the highest level. The East Coast Board has held summer camps in the past and I wish Malteenoes all the best,” said Singh.
The sponsorship cheque was collected by Malteenoes’ PRO Sean Devers who thanked the Store for their contribution, adding that he knows Mr. Singh wants to see cricket strive in Guyana.
