Harper to conduct batting clinic in Berbice next month

After a poor showing at the Guyana Cricket Board Inter-County Super 50, the Berbice senior batsmen will receive much-needed support through a batting clinic.

This all-important clinic will be conducted by former West Indies player Roger Harper on Sunday, November 16. According to the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), the clinic will feature 30 senior batsmen, with the venue to be confirmed at a later date. The session is expected to commence at 09:00h and conclude at 16:00h.

Additionally, Harper will be assisted by coaches from across the ancient county during the clinic. The BCB will announce the list of 30 participating batsmen in due course.

The BCB also announced that Hubern Evans will host a batting clinic for promising youth batsmen early next month.

“The Berbice Cricket Board is pleased to announce that veteran cricket coach and former national batsman Hubern Evans has agreed to host a batting clinic for our most promising youth batsmen early in November.

A total of thirty players selected by the selection committee will participate in the clinic. Coach Evans will be assisted by several other coaches, and this will be the first of several clinics organised by the BCB as part of our developmental programme. The BCB would like to express thanks to Mr Evans for his cooperation,” the BCB said in a Facebook post.

These announcements follow Berbice’s defeat against Demerara in the senior inter-county match played at Number 69 Village. In that match, the Berbicians were dismissed for 162.

The team featured several West Indies players, including Kevlon Anderson, Kevin Sinclair, and Shimron Hetmyer.
