ODYSSEY Sightseeing Tours Guyana Inc. has donated a substantial amount of cricket equipment to the Essequibo Cricket Board through its various committees.
Odyssey’s Manager Troy Khan indicated the company has a vast interest in the development of cricket in Guyana and having been approached by the Cricket Development Committee (CDC) of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) for support, they felt obliged to make this meaningful contribution.
He said based on the initial feedback on the needs of the Area Committees in Essequibo, members of his company decided that the donation of balls and scoring books will go a far way in assisting to host tournaments and now have the ability to properly keep player records.

Ryan Hercules, who chairs Essequibo’s CDC, commended Odyssey Tours on their contribution and reiterated its value to cricket competitions and player selections in Essequibo.
He went on to say that with the cost of scorebooks and balls being offset, it will enable the Area Committees to place their limited finances in other areas required to conduct cricket competitions. Territorial Development Officer (TDO) of the GCB, Colin Stuart, contended that with corporate Guyana placing greater emphasis on the development of sports, players, and administrators are set to benefit from more structured approaches to player development.
The GCB release further indicated the collaborative approach to cricket development will hopefully catapult Guyana’s cricket to new heights and the contribution made by Odyssey Tours will help in no small measure to improve the standard of cricket in Essequibo.
