Owner of DX Sports, Subhas Powan Persaud
Born in the ancient county of Berbice in Guyana, Persaud migrated to America at a tender age, but still plays cricket in New York.
In the late 80s, the 45-year-old Persaud was with Castle Hill Cricket Club in the New York Cricket League. He later moved to the Commonwealth Cricket League with another family team, Bachan Cricket Club and GS43. Persaud has, for the last 3 years, been with Bachan CC in the New York National League, an upcoming league in which countless Guyanese cricketers participate and dominate.
Several Guyanese players have played on the Bachan CC team, namely Yutesh Avi Dhanpaul, Subhas Persaud, Javed Karim, Balbinder Shivpersaud, Cornelius Jaisingh, Derrick Narine, Sudesh Dhaniram and many others. These Guyanese players have dominated cricket locally, and drastic improvement in their form has been seen as they donned equipment out of DX Sports as they continued to move up the ranks in cricket locally and overseas.
Well known in the NY area for his unorthodox spin bowling and his charismatic batting skills, Persaud, as a young lad, learned the game from his brothers and cousins, who all played at league level in New York, and have a love for the game and loves to promote the game.
Persaud said, “My business is, I like to see people happy when they buy products, and I try to save them money. Left alone, I help several entities now, like youth academies, girls cricket etc. Some players I just give… items they need just, to help. I guess it’s just me.
“My first bat was purchased by my brothers when I was 9 years old, an SS Jumbo, but a Junior size of course. It was a joy to have my own bat at that age. Now I have 20-30 of my own.”
Persaud is currently one of the top bowlers in the New York National League. He represents Bachan, as he has bagged 18 wickets thus far and helped his team book a spot in the final scheduled to be played this Saturday.
