Youths of the Malteenoes Cricket Club (MCC) summer camp yesterday benefited from a highly interactive session conducted by national batsman and guest speaker, Assad Fudadin.

The week-long camp which bowled off on Monday at the club’s Thomas Lands venue, profited from the special forum led by the Guyana/West Indies Test opener Fudadin, his Amazon Warriors teammate and Malteenoes player, all-rounder Steven Jacobs and ex-West Indies pacer Reon King all of whom spoke to the youngsters about properly equipping themselves with the necessary tools to become cricketers.

The seminar was held at the club’s pavilion where about 60 young, potential players got a chance to soak up some first-hand advice from the trio of cricketers who have played at nearly all the top levels of the sport. Fudadin who played three Test matches for the West Indies opened the floor by telling the teens that he was “privileged” to be chosen as the guest speaker.
