TIGER SPORTS, located at Old Road, Enmore, East Coast Demerara, is into the business of sports gear, trophies and other amenities that go with the disciplines, but its aim is much more than providing quality equipment for the country’s sportsmen and women. 

In fact, the company, which is being operated by former national wicketkeeper/batsman, Sheik Mohamed, is also doing its bit to mould local talents.
At a match played last Sunday at the Cultural Cricket Club (CCC) ground in Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara, where the hosts played against the Guyana Media XI, Mohamed, who appeared as a guest player for the home team, presented a pair of batting gloves to Ravi Persaud.
The left-handed Persaud, who opens the batting for the Media XI, captured Mohamed’s attention, who is also a former national selector, attached to the Guyana Cricket Board.
Persaud topscored for the Media XI with 29, and immediately after the game, Mohamed made the presentation to the young batsman. Mohamed said he was impressed with the way Persaud went about constructing his innings, noting that he is an obvious talent.
Persaud expressed gratitude to Mohamed for the kind gesture, adding that he is grateful for the support.
