GPF Officers Cricket Team Supports Up-and-Coming Talent

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) Officers Cricket Team on Tuesday, November 11, proudly presented a set of cricket gear to 15-year-old up-and-coming cricketer Keon Byass, in recognition of his potential and passion for the sport.
The presentation was made by the captain of the Officers Cricket Team, Deputy Commissioner (Administration) Mr Ravindradat Budhram, in his office at Eve Leary, alongside Superintendent Ronald Alli, vice-captain of the team.
In a social media post, the Guyana Police Force highlighted that Byass, a student of Valmiki College and an enthusiastic fast bowler, is the son of Woman Superintendent Fredella Boyce. The post further noted that his journey reflects “the positive influence of discipline, dedication, and family support in youth development.”

Having started his cricket career at the Police Sports Club, Byass now represents the Malteenoes Sports Club as a youth player.
During the presentation, Deputy Commissioner Budhram encouraged the young cricketer to remain focused on his education while pursuing his sporting dreams. The initiative forms part of the GPF Officers Cricket Team’s ongoing commitment to youth development and fostering sporting talent within the Force and across Guyanese communities.
When asked by Guyana Times Media about receiving support from the GPF Officers Cricket Team, Byass expressed his gratitude, saying:
“It feels like there are people who see my talent and support what I can achieve and what I’m doing in my cricket career.”
Sharing his aspirations for the future, the promising fast bowler added:
“Some of my dreams are to make the Guyana Under-17 team and make it into the West Indies setup or play for my country in the CPL.”
The GPF Officers Cricket Team continues to serve as a platform for nurturing young talent, helping to build discipline, character, and national pride through sport.
