Kevin Sinclair cricket academy heading to Berbice in August
The second Kevin Sinclair cricket academy will be heading to Berbice next month. Sinclair’s first academy bowled off at Everest Cricket Club during last week, and it was hailed a success.
Sinclair, with the help of the business community, aims to host this academy throughout Guyana, in all three counties, by the end of the year. His second move is to Berbice, and the final leg of the academy will roll off in Berbice later in the year. The second Academy will also cater for U13, U15 and U17 cricketers.
Speaking at the launch at Everest last week, Sinclair said: “This initiative comes from a dream. I always want to give back, because I came through the system where I went to an academy in Rose Hall Town. I just felt that once I establish myself and play international cricket and attain a certain status, I can be able to give back to the youths,” Sinclair said.
“I will do this in all three of the counties. I will try my best to get this rolled out in all three of the counties before the year out. With my cricketing schedule, I do not want to be doing that alone, I want to focus on my cricket. This will be the foundation for the youngsters to learn about cricket at a young age,” Sinclair added.
The sponsors for the second Sinclair Academy are Suri Trading, Genuine Auto Spares and Tools, A. Ally & Sons, V NET Communications and Flawless Dentals. The official start date will be announced soon.
