Option Group of the United States of America has joined forces with the ‘Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana’ project.
The project is spearheaded by former Berbice senior all-rounder and former Berbice Cricket Board Executive, Anil Beharry, who was recently appointed a Guyana Cricket Board Technocrat along with Kishan Das of the USA.
The drive aims to provide cricket gear for young, talented cricketers who need assistance.
The project, which was conceptualized recently, will seek new and used cricket gear which will then be distributed free of cost.
Recently, West Indian Sports Complex was the first to kick start the project.
Three pairs of batting pads, three pairs of batting gloves, three bats and one cricket bag with wheels were donated. Seven pairs of batting pads, seven bats, three batting gloves and one cricket bag have been collected so far.
According to a release from the project organisers, “Talent spotting will be done across Guyana along with guidance from club leaders to identify the players. Players must be in school and disciplined. Players above school age will also be considered.”
The collaboration said that it wanted to thank Imran and Javed Khan of West Indian Sports Complex, Option Group and Senior Journalist, former National and Senior Berbice off spinner Sean Devers.
Anyone interested in contributing can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.
