THE Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has joined forces with Mike’s Pharmacy for an Inter-Club Under-15 tournament, which is set to bowl off next month.
The tournament is for players born on or after September 1, 2003 and will attract 20 teams.

President of the BCB, Hilbert Foster, stated that less than two months after being elected into office, the BCB has been able to secure a number of sponsorships.
The U-15 level, Foster noted, is long overdue. The tournament would also enable the BCB selectors to identify players for next year’s U-15 and U-17 Inter-county tournaments.
Promising players would also be selected to be part of the BCB 2018 Cricket Academy and a countywide coaching programme.

Foster expressed gratitude to the management and staff of Mike’s Pharmacy for its investment into Berbice cricket and expressed confidence that the relationship would not only be fruitful but would be a long-term one.
He reassured the company that the tournament would be well organised and would achieve all of its objectives.

Chief Executive Officer of Mike’s Pharmacy, Lakhram Singh, expressed pleasure at becoming an official sponsor of the BCB.
He stated that investing in cricket at the junior level is very important as it helps to identify promising talents at a young age.

Singh expressed confidence that the relationship would be a long-term one and urged the board to maintain the high bar it has set itself.
Singh also disclosed that outstanding players in the tournament would receive cricket gear while members of the two finalists would be uniformed with White Polo T-shirts from his company under the Wellman’s brand.
