NATIONAL Under-15 batsman, Bhaskar Yadram, was recently presented with a quantity of cricket equipment, as he prepares to represent Guyana in the West Indies Cricket Board Regional Under-15 competition which bowls off in St Kitts from today. Yadram, who is a right-handed batsman, right-arm off-spinner and capable wicketkeeper, has benefited from the benevolence of Patrick Hardyal and Ashmeed Baksh, both ex-members of the Gandhi Youth Orgainsation (GYO), of which the 12-year-old is a member of as well.
Hardyal presented the teenager with a bat, while Baksh donated a gear bag and a pair of batting gloves, for which Yadram thanked the donors, noting that he will make maximum use of them on his first trip with the national team.
He also promised to put in a good performance and help Guyana win the title this year, while he took the opportunity to express gratitude to Chatterpaul Singh of the Enterprise Busta Sports Club for assisting him in his preparations for the competition.
Yadram gained his selection to the national team following a brilliant all-round performance in the Georgetown Cricket Association Under-15 competition earlier this year, where he chalked up 326 runs and captured 16 wickets.
The competition will consist of 15 two-day matches at three venues and under rules tailor-made for junior cricket.
