BCB 2023 cricket season: BCB/Diors Bits and Pieces U23 tournament bowls off tomorrow

The very busy 2023 season of the Berbice Cricket Board would continue on Sunday with the hosting of the opening round of the Diors Bits and Pieces U23 tournament. A total of 20 teams would be participating in the knockout tournament, being sponsored by Ms Sandie Ross, Regional Information Officer of Region 5, and Managing Director of Diors Bits and Pieces, a popular Region 5 boutique.
This would be the second under-23 tournament to be held this year in the county, after the GCB/Republic Bank U23 tournament which saw the Albion Community Centre emerging as a Berbice zone champion. Those participating in this tournament would have had to be born no sooner than September 1st 2000, and the tournament is open only to Berbician players.

These 40-over-per-side matches would start at 10:00am, due to the early darkness that attends end-of- year activities in the evenings, and captains are reminded they are required to be at the venue by 9:45am, to spin the coin or else forfeit their right to so do. Teams are required to be properly attired in white clothing, and red balls shall be used in the tournament.

The tournament is expected to be of a high standard, with players like Kevlon Anderson, Junior Sinclair, Rampertab Ramnath, Jonathan Rampersaud, Govrav Ramesh, Salim Khan, Isaiah Thorne, Ashmini Munisar, Deodat, Shamal Angel, Zeeynul Ramsammy, Tamoni Caesar, Jeremy Sandia, Matthew Pottaya, Leon Cecil and Ari Afrizal Kadir playing in it.
