AS part of its mandate to adequately prepare its respective teams, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has commenced preparation for the Inter- County and Regional Under-19 competitions.
Chairman of junior selectors Leslie Solomon, along with national captain Tremayne Smartt, made several visits to various secondary schools across the county, and have identified a number of prospective female cricketers.
Female students from the New Amsterdam Multilateral, Canje, Rosignol, Woodley Park and Number 8 secondary schools have already indicated their willingness to engage in the training sessions.

The training sessions have already commenced in the Central Corentyne Area at the Port Mourant Community Centre, under the supervision of Smartt. Sessions are also planned for the Berbice High School ground, and the West Berbice area, in order to select a squad of 20, who will be encamped from July 2.
From the encampment period, a 14-member squad will be shortlisted to represent Berbice in the Guyana Cricket Board’s Under-19 female Inter-county competition, scheduled to start next month.
The BCB is encouraging all clubs and individuals who are interested in the sport to attend these sessions and contribute to the development of female cricket in Guyana.
