The production of the magazine is in its fifth year; however, the recently-launched edition is a little more significant given that this year is the GCB’s 75th anniversary. As such, the magazine has come at a later date in the year so as to facilitate the capturing of events that were a part of the 75th anniversary celebration.
The magazine features statistics, assessments, and feature stories covering all levels of cricket in Guyana. Many of the feature stories in the magazine are written by local Journalists. One such story is “Guyana’s all-time XI”, which was compiled by John Ramsingh and is said to have the cricket world buzzing already.
GCB Secretary Anand Sanasie was present to give an overview of the nature and purpose of the magazine. “In this magazine, we captured everything that would have happened throughout the year in cricket, it has a lot of statistics and it has a lot of articles on the history of cricket and so on. Any earning out of this magazine is put straight back into cricket development. So, it is a revenue stream of the Guyana Cricket Board,” Sanasie stated.

To add a little glimmer to the magazine, most of the work has come straight out of the GCB. This was disclosed by Sanasie, who said: “Everything you see in the magazine was done at the office of the Guyana Cricket Board, other than the printing being done outside of there.”
Legendary cricket commentator Joseph “Reds” Perreira was the first to be presented with the magazine. After which, the Guyanese legend spoke on the article he contributed to the magazine.
“I remembered all the personalities that you met at the ground, I chose a looking back theme so that the young generation of readers and Guyanese could understand what Case Cup was all about. I think I found the right niche in producing an article, which I hope you would find interesting,” Perreira stated.
The magazine is free of cost and is available at the Guyana Cricket Board’s office on Regent Street, Bourda.
