BERBICE Cricket Board (BCB) president Hilbert Foster and Member of Parliament, Faizal Jafferally, have paved the way forward as they seek to further help develop cricket in the Ancient County.

The MP recently informed Foster that he was able to obtain funds for an Under-17 tournament for teams in the West Berbice area.

Mrs Gomatti Latchman of Latchman Construction and Landscaping, of Bath Settlement, would be sponsoring the 2022 tournament at a cost of $200 000.

Several teams in the area are expected to play in the tournament. BCB and Foster would like to express thanks to Mr Jafferally for his support of our work.

He is a fine example as a Member of Parliament, committed to assisting our efforts. The MP has also committed to assist in obtaining an U-15 sponsor for the area.
