“You have made us proud with your outstanding performance for Guyana and has proven beyond any doubt, that the Ancient County still produces outstanding cricketers to follow in the legacy of Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon, Roy Fredericks and Alvin Kallicharran. Your performance along with Isaiah Thorne, put to rest the false claim by a few that cricket in Berbice is a farce. The entire county, the Berbice Cricket Board and your club, Port Mourant Cricket Club are very proud of you and as such, we have the greatest honour to honour you.” Those were the words of Hilbert Foster, President of the Berbice Cricket Board.
The Berbice Cricket Board honoured Guyana Under-15 opening batsman Rampertab Ramnauth for his outstanding performance in the recent Cricket West Indies Under-15 Tournament in Antigua.

The BCB President stated that the BCB would continue to invest in every one of its players, while making sure that they have enough cricket to play at every level. Berbice, he stated has legendary status in the cricketing world and his administration was working hard to uphold the high standard.
