IN another momentous move by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), current Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Richard ‘Ricky’ Skerritt has been chosen to be the Guest Speaker at the Brian Ramphal Awards ceremony on April 24.

According to a release from BCB yesterday, the Board will host its annual Awards ceremony for players, clubs, and officials at the St Francis Community Centre from 13:00hrs.
Several outstanding players and long-serving officials would be honoured by the BCB while the historic Berbice Cricket Umpires Hall of Fame would also be opened.

“We are very delighted to inform the general public that for the first time a president of CWI would be in the Ancient County,” said BCB president Hilbert Foster, who is also a CWI director.

“The BCB continues to create history as we (the officials) forge ahead with the development of the game. Several major announcements would also be made shortly about the Brian Ramphal Awards Ceremony,” the release added.

Next month, BCB will have the services of the great Sir Curtly Ambrose to conduct a fast-bowling clinic in the county.
