Kaieteur Sports- Charandas Persaud, former Guyana High Commissioner to India and former Member of Parliament, has once again showed his love for cricket and confidence in this joint initiative between Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA. The attorney at law, a Guyanese by birth and Canadian citizen, donated four cricket bats, twelve red cricket balls and two pairs of batting gloves. Persaud’s total contributions to this project are nine cricket bats, twenty-four red balls and two pairs of batting gloves.
