DUBBING the event as an integral step towards the development of the next generation of cricketers, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), in collaboration with Dave West Indian Exports Guy-NY, launched the 2017 edition of the GCB Under-15 Inter-County tournament yesterday at the GCB’s boardroom.

The one-day competition is of utmost importance to the GCB as it is being used by the junior selectors to formulate the Guyana team for the West Indies Cricket Board’s (WICB) Regional Under-15 competition later this year.
At a simple launch, representative of the business entity, Cliff Joseph, presented the sponsorship cheque and trophies to executives of the board.
However, prior to the handing-over ceremony, GCB’s Territorial Development Officer, Colin Stuart, indicated that the tournament plays a huge role in identifying future stars. Stuart, the former Guyana and West Indies fast bowler also pointed out that the sponsorship will go a long way in assisting the continued success at the Under-15 level.
Meanwhile, secretary of the GCB, Anand Sanasie stated that the GCB is extremely grateful to have Dave West Indian Imports on board for a second consecutive year.
Joseph said his company is pleased to partner in the development of cricket, especially at the youth level.
As was the case last year, a President’s XI team has been included in the tournament, increasing the number of teams to four.
With the unpredictable weather pattern, the GCB has identified March 14 as a tentative date for the commencement of the tournament, with Ogle, Enmore and Police as the venues shortlisted. (Rajiv Bisnauth)
