GCB President pays courtesy visit to LBI as National U-13 players as encampment ends
Kaieteur Sports – On Wednesday afternoon the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) President, Bissoondyal Singh, met with the national under-13 team at the hostel.
The team had their final session Thursday as they completed preparations for the upcoming Goodwill Bilateral Series between Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago schedule for July 30, to August 9, 2023.
The Goodwill Bilateral Series is an arrangement between GCB President and Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board President Azim Bassarath. The Trinidad and Tobago (TT) under-13 team visited Guyana last December for the first Goodwill Bilateral Series which the ‘Soca-boys’ won 3-1.
This tour to TT marks the return tour of what would be an annual series between the two countries with the hope of eventually having a regional under-13 tournament in the near future.
In the short meeting held, Singh met with the players and management to commend them for their efforts during the recently concluded GCB Under-13 Inter-County tournament as well as the commitment shown during camp.

Mr. Singh stressed discipline, dedication, and hard work; three attributes needed to be a successful cricketer. He also told the very young and exuberant group that they have now become ambassadors of Guyana and should carry themselves as proud representatives of our country both on and off the field.
At the meeting, it was brought to the attention of the GCB President that several players were not equipped to go on the tour. This was quickly addressed, and those players were assisted with the needed equipment and other necessities.
The team will leave Guyana 05:00 hours on Sunday, July 30 and play the first of the four-match series on August 2.
