THE Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Simon Naidu as its new Public Relations Officer (PRO).

Naidu, who is also the assistant/secretary of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, was appointed based on his outstanding work with the club.

President of the BCB, Hilbert Foster, has described the 18-year-old Naidu as one of the smartest, visionary and progressive youth he has met over his thirty years at the club.

As the PRO, Naidu is in charge of the promotion of matches, press releases, facebook accounts and television programmes.

He has also played a major role in BCB’s activities. He expressed surprise at his recent appointment but stated that he was totally dedicated to fulfilling his duties as part of a united team, in an effort to take cricket in the Ancient County at an even higher stage.

Naidu has taken over the day-to-day operation of the RHTYSC, which undertakes over 700 activities/programmes annually. Naidu is directly responsible for all of the club’s assets, membership, reports, cricket matches, Say No/Say Yes Campaign and record-keeping among others.

Over the last two years under his leadership the RHTYSC has completely dominated cricket in Berbice by winning over 16 titles. He is supported by a panel of experienced cricket administrators including Robby Kissoonlall, Keith Hicks, Sohan Harry and Tyrone Pottaya.

The PRO hailed the unity and hard work of the RHTYSC management team as the main reason for all the successes over the years.
