Colin Bynoe Jr, the first England Cricket Board (ECB)-accredited cricket agent from Guyana and a leading representative with the United Kingdom-based agency Gravity Sports, recently met with Minister within the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport, Steven Jacobs.
The duo engaged in fruitful discussions centred on key elements of Guyana’s sporting ecosystem that are critical to the sustained growth and success of local athletes. The discussions emphasised the importance of strategic sports representation to further the development of athletes, particularly cricketers, both on and off the field.
The meeting also explored opportunities for collaboration aimed at strengthening athlete support structures, enhancing talent development pathways, and elevating Guyana’s profile on the regional and global sporting stage.
Bynoe represents several of Guyana’s premier cricket talents, including West Indies and Guyana star Gudakesh Motie and Guyana national team Captain Tevin Imlach, alongside a roster of other prominent regional and international players.
Bynoe was able to ink several multimillion-dollar commercial deals for his clients and has even placed Guyana and West Indies legend Shiv Chanderpaul as Head Coach for one of the franchises in the upcoming Nepal Premier League.
While Bynoe’s primary sports representation is cricket, he still sees the importance of athlete representation in all disciplines, which will elevate their development. Among his regional and international clients are a diverse and growing roster of talented players, including West Indies internationals Alick Athanaze, Anderson Phillip, and Mikyle Louis.
Minister Jacobs, a former West Indies Under-19 Captain, Guyana national player, and renowned businessman of Jacobs Jewellery and Pawn Shop, has served his community, and now, he is ready to serve the country. He has pledged to bring an athlete’s perspective as the junior Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport.
