THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) will on Friday, April 23 2021, launch the Dave Narine Educational Trust Fund for 15 young cricketers across Guyana.
Under this initiative, each county will submit five Under-17 cricketers who will each benefit from a $20 000 grant. Two of the important criteria in order to qualify for the grant will be good discipline and school attendance. The current executives of GCB are cognizant of the constraints related to the COVID-19 situation, in particular the present rise in recorded cases, and the financial impact on families. The GCB will continue to monitor the situation to establish a timeframe based on professional advice in which GCB competitions can recommence.

The Cricket Development Committee (CDC) of the GCB will continue to focus on the requisite programmes that are geared at on-field and off-field developmental activities.
The GCB expressed immense gratitude to Mr Dave Narine, proprietor of Dave’s West Indian Imports and Exports, for his continued support of the development of youth cricket.
Mr Narine has expressed his intention to once again donate a large quantity of exercise books for distribution to youth cricketers and also to renew his sponsorship of the Under-15 Inter-county tournament. Each county will be asked by GCB to make a submission of 5 selected players who will benefit from this initiative by Tuesday, April 20, 2021.
