BCB to host first of four mini cricket academies across the county
– Starts Saturday in West Berbice
Kaieteur News – The aggressive developmental programme of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) would continue this weekend with the hosting of the first of four mini cricket academies across the county. The West Berbice Cricket Association under the leadership of David Black would host the first mini academy tomorrow, Saturday 23rd of July.
Dr. Tulsi Dyal Singh
The BCB President Hilbert Foster stated that the academy is a continuation of the board’s ambitious coaching programme which seeks to make sure that every cricketing talent in the ancient county is discovered and given the chance to develop. The board would also be hosting the academy in New Amsterdam/Canje at the Rose Hall Canje Ground, Lower Corentyne at the Area H Ground and Upper Corentyne sub association at the Skeldon Ground.
Special emphasis would be placed on improving the players’ techniques in batting, bowling and wicketkeeping. Foster also disclosed that the BCB under his leadership would be very firm with players who refuse to attend developmental programmes to which they are invited to attend. Stating that the BCB was investing heavily into the development of players, the BCB President said it was only fair that they take advantage of them and as such players who bluntly refuse to attend would not be considered for selection to the Berbice teams in the future.
Coach Travis Hardcourt would head the panel of coaches and the following players are asked to report to the Fort Wellington Secondary School at 8:30 am for the session which would go on to 4:00 pm. Lunch would be provided for all participants.
Sponsorship for this programme would have come from funding provided by Dr. Tulsi Dyal Singh.
