Jones benefits again from Cricket Gear Programme
Kaieteur Sports – Fourteen years old, Makhaya Jones was the recipient of one pair of batting gloves from this noble joint initiative between Anil Beharry and Kishan Das. He recently participated in the Demerara Cricket Board Inter Association under 16 cricket competition. The Demerara Cricket Club fast bowling allrounder is a student of Campbellville Secondary School. Young Jones was high in praise for the support and promised to balance his cricket and academic life.
Over the years, many Guyanese cricketers benefitted from this project, some of whom went on to represent West Indies at different levels.
