Simon disclosed too that he is happy with the progress the cricketers have made and shared similar sentiments to Persaud for his technical input.
He acknowledged the timely support of Ali and encouraged the youths to take good care of the cricket equipment and make maximum use of it as well.

“Youth and sports development are pillars of national development; promoting grassroots participation in sporting activities helps us to position sports as a tool for empowerment and positive social change,” declared by Ali on her Facebook page.
