Attorney General bats for expansion of Kares One Guyana T10
– Eager to compete in the celebrity match
Kaieteur Sports – Organisers of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast recently paid a courtesy call on Mohabir Anil Nandlall, SC, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, at the Chambers of the Attorney General and Ministry of Legal Affairs.
The visiting team comprised John Ramsingh and Yusuf Ali, who briefed the Attorney General on the tournament and solicited his participation in a ‘celebrity match’ on July 30 at the Everest Cricket Ground.
Nandlall welcomed the move to resuscitate grassroots cricket in Guyana and pledged his support to the tournament.
He encouraged the organisers to extend the tournament countrywide.
The tournament has also received endorsement from President Dr. Irfran Ali, Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr.
The tournament, consisting of 32 teams, will be played in Georgetown on July 29 and 30.
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, and Banks DIH through their GT Beer brand.
The first-ever champions will pocket $1M, while the losing finalist will collect $300,000.

The two losing semi-finalists will walk away with $100,000 each. There will also be prizes for outstanding individual performances.
The organisers reminded that players will not only walk away with their pockets filled as there will be numerous instant prizes for the fans who participate in cricket novelty activities.
At the same time, the children will be pampered with free rides, games, and treats in the Banks DIH Fun Zone.
There was a change in fixtures to accommodate the usage of normal mud pitches, as unanimously requested by participating teams.
Round of 16 matches commences at 13:30h at all five venues, while Super Eight matches start at 16:00h and will be at QC, Police and Guyana Defence Grounds only.
The semifinals and final are on July 30 at Everest Cricket Ground.
