Appiah wished Algoo well and is confident that he can follow the footsteps of his opening partner for the YWCC, now West Indies opener, Shimron Hetmyer. He added that this will only come with hard work, dedication and commitment.
In response, Algoo thanked the sponsor for the bat and promised to make full use of it and do everyone proud, including Appiah. He even urged other youngsters to get involve in sports and stay away from idle and evil things. He said that our society is infested with crimes and drugs and the “oldheads” target teenagers in an effort to recruit them to ply their trade in criminal life.
He called on his fellow youths to join any youth club/sports club in their area. Algoo promised to train hard and stay focus.
