DADA’s Group of Companies bats for DCB T10 Tournament

Davendra Rampersaud, Chairman and Founder of the DADAS Group of Companies, has made a $100,000 contribution to the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB), supporting its continued work in cricket development and opportunities for young people.
The contribution was presented during a meeting with representatives of the DCB, where discussions also focused on the importance of sport, community development, and creating stronger pathways for young Guyanese.
Rampersaud said sport remained one of the most practical ways to develop discipline, confidence, teamwork, and leadership in young people.
“Cricket has always brought communities together and given young people something meaningful to work towards. As business leaders, we have a responsibility to support institutions that help develop character, talent and opportunity. This contribution is a small but sincere expression of that commitment.”

The DADA’s Group of Companies operates across real estate, health care, hospitality and other business areas, with a growing focus on practical community investment, youth development, and national progress.
The partnership represents another significant boost for the tournament, which is being organised by the DCB as part of its continued efforts to promote cricket, encourage corporate involvement, and provide meaningful opportunities for cricketers across Demerara.
The DCB expressed appreciation to the management of DADA’s Group of Companies for its support, noting that partnerships with the Private Sector remain essential to the successful staging of competitions and the continued growth of the sport at all levels.
The DCB T10 Fundraiser Tournament is scheduled for Sunday, November 22, 2026, at the LBI Ground. The tournament will bowl off at 10:00h and continue into the evening under floodlights, with eight franchise teams competing for the prestigious $1 million first prize.
Admission is set at $1000, with all proceeds going towards the development of boys’ and girls’ cricket at the grassroots level throughout Demerara. The initiative underscores the Board’s commitment to investing in the next generation of cricketers and strengthening the foundation of the game.
Meanwhile, to promote homegrown talent and competitive balance, each franchise will be permitted a 15-player squad comprising at least 12 players from Demerara, with a maximum of three players from outside the county.
Additionally, every franchise must include at least two Under-19 players in its squad, with a minimum of one required to feature in the starting XI. These regulations are intended to create meaningful opportunities for emerging cricketers and strengthen the pathway for youth development.
The DCB T10 Tournament is expected to deliver an exciting brand of competitive cricket while bringing together corporate Guyana, cricket supporters, and the wider community in support of the development of the game.
The DCB encourages cricket enthusiasts, families, corporate supporters, and the wider public to come out in large numbers and support this exciting fundraising tournament. With eight franchises, a $1 million first prize and an exciting day of T10 cricket under floodlights, the event promises to be a major attraction on the local cricket calendar while contributing to the growth of the game across Demerara.
