With tons of cricket set for Guyana over the next few months and beyond, it was opportune for Cricket West Indies (CWI) President, Dave Cameron, accompanied by Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Secretary and CWI Director, Anand Sanasie, to pay a visit to, and engage in discussion with, Minister of State Joseph Harmon on Wednesday at the Ministry of the Presidency.

The primary objective of their visit was to ensure that overall development of the sport in Guyana was at the forefront of every entity’s plan. With Providence being a venue slightly behind the times because of the absence of an electronic scoreboard, the urgent need to ensure the facility is outfitted with this piece of electronic equipment was outlined.
Minister Harmon took the opportunity to assure the Windies directors that the Government of Guyana remains committed to the expansion of sport, and would be seeking to lend the necessary assistance going forward.
Apart from the ongoing Hero CPL, other topics discussed included upgrading of the Providence National Stadium, player development, and other areas related to the growth of the sport locally.
With Guyana recently concluding its seven 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches at the Providence National Stadium, and having secured a spot in Sunday’s finals, the Calender of activities continues after the T20 Party ends with the upcoming ICC Women’s World T20 which Guyana is co-hosting, along with the upcoming CWI Regional Season.
