Skerritt to make special appearance at BCB’s annual Brian Ramphal Awards Ceremony
The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) would be hosting its annual Brian Ramphal Awards Ceremony on April 24, 2022. The ceremony is scheduled to be held at the St Francis Community Centre Hall in Rose Hall Town, and President of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Ricky Skerritt, has accepted an invitation from the BCB to be the Guest Speaker.

Skerritt last Wednesday accepted the invitation via an email to BCB President Hilbert Foster, and disclosed that he looks forward to visiting the Ancient County.
Foster has said that overseas-based Guyanese Brian Ramphal has renewed his sponsorship of the programme for 2022, and in addition to the Annual Awards, the pro-active board would be launching its Hall of Fame for Umpires and make inductions to the BCB Hall of Fame for Administrators.
The BCB would also be presenting its highest award to several persons, including the CWI President, while several outstanding cricket officials in the county would be honoured for their contribution to the game.
In 2018, Angela Haniff and Albert Smith honoured Brian Ramphal with the BCB Tribute to Heroes Award
Among the awards expected to be conferred are: the Junior Cricketer of the Year-Male, Junior Cricketer of the Year- Female, Senior Male Cricketer, Senior Female Cricketer, International Player of the Year, Club of the Year, Umpire of the Year, Disciplined Player of the Year, and BCB Worker of the Year. Foster would also present a comprehensive review of the BCB over the last year, and unveil plans for the rest of the year.
The visit of CWI President Ricky Skerritt would be historic as it marks the first ever occasion when a sitting President of Cricket West Indies would be visiting the Ancient County.
