Project “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana” Lutesh Singh of Tagore Memorial Secondary is latest beneficiary

Anil Beharry and Kishan Das, owners of the Project “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana”, have recently made Lutesh Singh the latest beneficiary of this laudable initiative.
Singh has received one pair of cricket shoes, one helmet, and an arm guard, compliments of Davo Naraine of the UK.
This right-arm medium-pacer, a fifth form student of the Tagore Memorial Secondary School at Number 63 Village, Corentyne, represented the Rising Stars team in the GCB 2022 Under-19 Inter County Cricket Tournament which was aborted due to excessive rainfall.

“Thank you for this timely gesture,” the young cricketer has said.
Representing the initiative was former Berbice Youth Allrounder Deoprakash Ramdat, who said the project is happy to “assist in the development of our young cricketers, and at the same time encourage them to educate themselves and be better citizens of Guyana”.
Total cricket-related items collected so far: $250,000 cash, two trophies, twelve cricket boots, nineteen pairs of batting pads, twenty-one bats, fifteen pairs of batting gloves, nineteen thigh pads, one pair of wicketkeeping pads, two arm guards, six cricket bags and three helmets.
In addition to the above, $600,000 worth in gear was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former national wicketkeeper/ batsman.
To date, thirty-nine young players from all three counties of Guyana have already benefited from the receipt of three junior gear bags, two trophies, two arm guards, fourteen bats, one box, three helmets, twelve pairs of cricket shoes, ten pairs of batting pads, one bat rubber and twelve pairs of batting gloves.
In addition, two clubs in the Pomeroon area have benefited from the receipt of two used bats. Cricket Committees at Pomeroon, Leguan and Wakenaam and the Cotton Tree Die Hard committee have also each received one box of red cricket balls, while RHCCCC received two boxes plus fifteen white cricket shirts, one pair of junior batting pads, one pair of wicketkeeping gloves, and a set of stumps and bails. The Essequibo Cricket Board has also received donations from this initiative.
Cricket-related items, used or new, are given free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country, and club leaders also assist to identify same. Progressive and well managed clubs would also benefit.
