The gear included a number of gear bags, bats, batting pads, wicket-keeping pads, balls, and stumps. The distribution is an integral aspect of the GCB’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, which aims to transform Guyana’s cricket structure to one of a highly professionalised culture.

GCB president Bissoondyal Singh was elated about the donation to the association. He remarked that though the West Demerara executives have only been in office for less than one year, they have been able to identify a number of talented players that can easily progress to higher levels given the required supportive cricket programmes.

Singh went on to commend the executives for their enthusiasm and pro-active approach to effectively address the administrative and developmental needs of West Demerara.
The GCB boss pointed out that like many associations and committees, West Demerara has a wealth of talent, and the GCB is committed to purposefully assisting these associations, committees and country in meeting their obligations to administer, develop and promote cricket in their jurisdiction.

Singh further commented: “Team work is the key to effectively implement and sustain cricket developmental programmes across the country. These programmes must have the appropriate structures of which all affiliate members are a part. Therefore, how well we work together will be important.”

The GCB has given the West Demerara a subsidy for 2022 and will also do so for 2023, along with another donation of gear.
“Given your commitment shown, the GCB is confident that the WDCA will be able to solely fund your programmes in the near future.”

However, GCB executives are very pleased with the co-operative approach being employed by the West Demerara club. WDCA president Troy Khan said that the donation was historic, and was received by the members present with great applause. He posited that “the entire executives of the WDCA as well as the players who are here today, are happy to receive this substantial donation.

“We believe that it will go a long way in assisting us to effectively carry out our coaching education programme. Players need gear and a number of players will now have the liberty to use the gear and explore the level of skills they possess in the game.”

Khan went on to assure the GCB president and executives that the gear will be accounted for and will be well utilised.
