Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana project: Fast bowlers benefit from cricket gear project

Two young and promising fast bowlers from the West Coast of Berbice in Region Five are the latest to receive tokens from the “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana” project.
Quincy Alder from Paradise Cricket Club and Winston Joseph from the Belladrum Cricket Club have each received one pair of cricket shoes. Historically, the West Berbice area is known for producing fast bowlers for Guyana.

Anil Beharry, a partner in this initiative with Kishan Das of the USA, has said he is pleased to assist young cricketers in their quest to play the game at the highest level. He added that sports in general helps to keep young people off the streets doing idle things, and is an avenue to a better life.
The young pacers were each delighted to receive their gift, and were grateful for the token. They promised to work hard on their game, and stay disciplined and focused.
Total cricket-related items collected so far: $130,000 cash, two trophies, eleven cricket boots, fifteen pairs of batting pads, fifteen bats, nine pairs of batting gloves, eighteen thigh pads, one wicket-keeping pad, one arm guard, and four cricket bags.
To date, 31 young players from all three counties of Guyana have benefited from a donation from this project, which has thus far handed out a junior gear bag, two trophies, nine bats, nine pairs of cricket shoes, six pairs of batting pads and seven pairs of batting gloves.

In addition, the Rose Hall Estate Cricket Club has benefited from the receipt of a pair of stumps and bails, and two clubs in the Pomeroon area have benefited from the receipt of two used bats. Pomeroon, Leguan and Wakenaam Cricket Committees have each also received one box of red cricket balls.
Cricket-related items, used or new, would be distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country, and club leaders would also assist to identify talent.
