Young players provide support for “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers” Project

Intercounty Under-19 players Ariel Tilku and Aaron Beharry have contributed two used bats towards the “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana” Project.
This initiative is a joint effort of Kishan Das of the USA and former Berbice senior player and long-serving executive Anil Beharry. The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) also contributed an additional pair of batting pads.
Their aim is to provide cricket gear free of cost for young and talented cricketers in Guyana. The project is seeking new and used cricket gear which will then be distributed across the length and breadth of Guyana.
Total gear collected so far: 12 pairs of batting pads, 11 bats, eight pairs of batting gloves and two cricket bags.
Eight young players from Essequibo Coast have already benefited from four bats and four pairs of batting pads.
In a joint statement, Tilku and Beharry indicated that they would be happy if the bats were given to young players in the county of Essequibo. They both participated in the recently-concluded Under-19 Cricket Tournament held in Essequibo and were impressed with the level of talent they saw. Devon Ramnauth was the sponsor of that competition.
Talent spotting will be done across Guyana, along with guidance from club leaders, to identify the recipient players. Players must be in school and disciplined. Players above school age will also be considered.
Das and Beharry expressed thanks to Imran and Javed Khan of West Indian Sports Complex, Option Group, Bish Panday of P and P Insurance Brokers, Sean Devers, Travis Simon, RHTY&SC, Tilku and Beharry.
