Pakistani businessman Mohammad Abdullah makes donation to cricket clubs
Several cricket clubs in Guyana on Wednesday evening benefitted from a kind gesture from Pakistani businessman, Mohammad Abdullah.

t a simple ceremony held at Trophy Stall 243 Bourda Street, Bourda.
Abdullah informed that his company was established almost 20 years ago. He indicated that the aim was to bring the youths into sports, adding that he would from time to time assist the youths with the aim to motivate them. “Now I am planning with Ramesh Sunich of Trophy Stall to organise the Guyana Premier League, hopefully next year. This will be an encouragement for the young boys, instead of leaving them in the streets, it is better to bring them in the field so they can be a better person of the society,” he added.
“This is our main aim; you know if we increase our efforts and encourage the youths to get involved in sports, we can have a better nation and in that way we can reduce the crime rate rapidly, so our main motive is to save our young generation.”
The company is the biggest sports wholesaler in Guyana and it supplies equipment to local shop keepers as well as the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB). “We are very thankful to the people of Guyana and the GCB and we love to work along with them as well,” posited Abdullah.
Abdullah said that sports play an important role in the development of youths. “From my college and university days, I was among the top athletes, and I know what sports means. It has always been on my mind to get the youths involved in sports and sometimes we see a lot of young people with lots of talent and skills but they don’t have the necessary finances, so it’s better to lend assistance which can help them realise their full potential.”
Cyber Sports also supplies sports equipment to other parts of the world including Bosina and the UK. Rehana Ragoobeer of Everest Cricket Club expressed gratitude to Abdullah for his contribution.
“It is a great pleasure to receive these footwear. We will ensure that the less fortunate youths in the clubs benefit and hopefully they can show some improvement in their game.”
In an invited comment, Sunich said when Abdullah told him about the initiative he was very happy so he decided to ensure that the clubs benefit, adding that there will be another such presentation in June. (Zaheer Mohamed)
