Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir, who is also the Everest Cricket Club’s president, made the presentation of $100,000 to Fruta Conquerors president, Colin Gittens, while expressing his delight in helping the country’s Elite League champion on their quest for regional club football success.
