Dump the WI cricket team, time for our own Guyana team

Feb 18, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Now that  we  Guyanese  are rich  from  oil  funds for  a  few  years, it is time  for  our  own  national  cricket  team.  You are hearing me clearly saying ‘dump the West Indies Cricket team for the sake of talent.’

Let us  start with building  a world  class  cricket  academy  employing  world  class  coaching that  will result  in  topnotch county or major towns cricket  competition. As an old boy of Saints, we had our own cricket ground, producing high quality cricketers who were stymied  by regional  politics  that  the  “poor ” Guyana  accepted  what allotment the  other  countries  of  the  region  handed  out. However,  we had  some  smart guys  that  took  up Kerry  Packer offer  to  make  money  and  showcase  their  talents, despite  being  blacklisted. Imagine if they had access to today’s oil money…!

Lastly, if you  don’t  know , investing  in  sports  team provides  handsome  returns and lots of  well-paying  jobs. Moreover, some teams even trade as Public Companies on stock exchanges.

Your faithfully,

Keith  Bernard
