Kares T10 Blast: President Ali, Lennox Cush to lead teams in Cricket for Charity match

…Former England International to feature

Some former international players, ministers of the government, entertainers and athletes will join in the noble cause of raising funds for charitable organisations in Guyana when they compete in the exciting Cricket For Charity match at the finals of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast, on August 24 at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The teams – Team Kanuku and Team Roraima – would again be led by President Dr Irfaan Ali and former national cricketer Lennox Cush. President Ali’s team is expected to feature Ministers Charles Ramson Jr and Vickram Bharrat, as well as Devendra Bishoo, Ryan Ramdass, Caleb Bastain, Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken, Steven Jacobs, Leon Johnson, WR Reaz and Navin Prashad, among others.
The side led by Lennox Cush is expected to feature such persons as Ramnaresh Sarwan, young Shahid Ramzan, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Clairmonte Christopher Lewis; Chief of Defence, Omar Khan; Rawle Ferguson, Jeremey Garrett, Minister Susan Rodrigues, and Robbie Rambarran, among others.

Clairmonte Christopher Lewis was born in Guyana, but played for England between 1990 and 1998. A lanky bowling all-rounder, Lewis will be captained by Lennox Cush in the match.
Now 56, Lewis has played 32 Tests and 53 One-Day Internationals, and brings a wealth of experience to the Lennox Cush side.
