West Indies players Devandra Bishoo and Anthony Bramble have made significant donations to the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) during this past week.
The leg-spinner Bishoo donated a 32-inch television to upgrade the BCB office located at Charlotte Street New Amsterdam Berbice; while Bramble donated a water dispenser valued at $30,000.
Bramble is a Guyana Amazon Warriors player who earned selection for the West Indies T20 International team earlier this month.
BCB boss, Hilbert Foster, continuing his tremendous work in Berbice cricket, is currently spearheading a special project to upgrade the BCB office as part of that organisation’s 80th anniversary. This restoration project is scheduled to be completed by mid-October.
And Attorney-at-Law Rohan Jagmohan has also contributed to the upgrading of the BCB Office in the form of an outdoor water trolley.
Thus the Charlotte Street, New Amsterdam office of the Berbice Cricket Board is now furnished with a 32-inch television set, a water dispenser, and a water trolley.
The entire office will be upgraded for the sole purpose of improving the services of the BCB to the general public, and also to cut operating expenses.
The floor of the office will be tiled, the roof will be sealed, new furniture will be obtained, and office equipment installed along with other necessities.
Both Foster and the BCB are delighted with the donations made, and have deemed it refreshing to know that the Berbice West Indies players are contributing to the development of cricket in the ancient county.
