Project “Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana” provides support to two more young cricketers
Kaieteur Sports- Berbice under17 players, Ramzam Koobeer and Sohail Mohamed, were the latest youths to benefit from this noble joint initiative between Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA. Koobeer was the recipient of one cricket gear bag, one pair of thigh pads and one pair of batting gloves, while Mohamed benefited from one pair of wicketkeeping gloves with inners and one metal spike boots. The items were bought, and part of the funds donated by Nafico/Nalico, were used to do same. They both represented Berbice in the recently concluded Guyana Cricket Board under17 inter county tournament.

At a simple ceremony held recently, the aspiring stars expressed gratitude for the tokens and promised to continue to work hard on their cricket. This initiative will continue to strive to make every community a safer and better place. We are pleased to be part of the development of young cricketers in Guyana. Our aim is to keep them off the streets and get them actively involved in sports, cricket in particular.
Cricket related items, used or new, are distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country and club leaders also assist to identify same. Progressive and well managed cricket clubs with a youth programme, will also benefit.
Anyone interested to contribute can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.
