DR. Beharry stated that the Berbice Cricket Board was very pleased to obtain the sponsorship from ARMCO Construction Company as part of its cricket developmental programme for 2026.

The BCB President stated that his administration intends to organize cricket at all levels in 2026 with sponsorship being obtained for several tournaments at the Under 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 levels along with a female 40 overs and two at the first division levels. Beharry also disclosed that his board is also seeking to obtain sponsorship for school cricketers for both male and female at the Under 19 level.

He also announced that next year, he was willing to sponsor a first division tournament in addition to the intermediate one.

Among the exciting talents expected to participate in the tournament are Adrian Hetmyer, Richard Ramdeholl, Rafel McKenzie, Tameshwar Deonandan, Vishal Williams, Nathaneal Ramsammy, Feeaz Baksh, Justin Doobay and Jayden Ganpat.
