Kaieteur Sports – Commissioner of Police (ag) Clifton Hicken has pledged his full support for the inaugural Kares One Guyana T10 Blast and indicated ranks would be deployed at all venues to ensure a safe environment for the thousands of patrons expected to attend on July 29 and 30.
The Commissioner recently met with the organisers – FL Sport – and further committed to being part of the celebrity match in which the organisers will donate $200,000 towards charity.

More so, President Dr. Irfaan Ali, the tournament’s patron, recently recommitted his support for the tournament, noting it is an event that will bring many people together from varying communities under the ‘One Guyana’ banner.
The President also unveiled the specially-made hand-crafted winner’s trophy. Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips was also present, and he, too, pledged his support towards the tournament.
Several active and former national players will feature for their teams over the two-day extravaganza.
Preliminary matches will be staged at the Police Sports Club, the Guyana Defence Force, Queen’s College Ground, YMCA, and Transport Sports Club, while the finals will be held at the Everest Cricket Ground on July 30.
To progress to the championship match, a team must win three matches on day one and their semi-final on day two.
They will then qualify to compete for the first prize of $1M cash and the specially crafted One Guyana Trophy.
The organisers are grateful for the support of Kares Engineering, who quickly committed to being the title sponsor, and Mohamed’s Enterprise, who funded the first-place prize and offset the transportation cost for team Moruca.
