RHCCCC benefits from “Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana”.
The Rose Hall Community Centre Cricket Club is the latest beneficiary of the Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana, collecting a box of balls to aid them.
The rapidly rising club continues to produce many young cricketers who have already represented Guyana at the youth levels.

One such player is one of the fastest young bowler in the Caribbean, Isiaia Thorne, who has already represented the West Indies Under-19 team. In addition, young female cricketer, Ashmini Munisar, is the West Indies youth captain and has also represented the Senior Female Team.

On receipt of the balls, team coach Ameer Rahaman, expressed gratitude and promised to continue to serve the game in Guyana.
Rahaman is currently the head coach of the National Under-13 team which recently returned victorious from a bi-lateral series in Trinidad.

The project has received/purchased so far: $370,000 in cash, thirteen colored cricket uniforms, two trophies, seventeen pairs of cricket boots, thirty-one pairs of batting pads, thirty-two cricket bats, twenty-nine pairs of batting gloves, twenty-three thigh pads, three pairs of wicket-keeping pads, five arm guards, two boxes, ten cricket bags, six bat rubbers, six helmets and one softball cricket bat. In addition to the above, $600,000 worth in gear was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former National wicket keeper/batsman. All cash collected is being used to purchase cricket gear requested and not available at the time.

To date, sixty-five young players from all three counties of Guyana have benefitted from three junior gear bags, two trophies, four arm guards, twenty-six bats, two boxes, five helmets, twenty-two pairs of cricket shoes, fifteen pairs of batting pads, two thigh pads, one bat rubber, twenty-four pairs of batting gloves and two pairs of wicket-keeping gloves.
In addition, two clubs in the Pomeroon area benefitted from two used bats.

The Pomeroon, Leguan and Wakenam Cricket Committees and the Cotton Tree Die Hard also received one box of red cricket balls each; Cold Fusion Cricket Club collected thirteen color uniforms while RHCCCC received three boxes of balls, fifteen white cricket shirts, one pair of junior batting pads, one pair of wicket-keeping gloves and a set of stumps and bails. Other beneficiaries are the Essequibo Cricket Board, the Town of Lethem and youth coach, Travis Persaud and softball teams in the Upper Corentyne area.

Cricket-related items, used or new, are distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country and club leaders also assist in identifying talent. Progressive and well managed cricket clubs with a youth programme will also benefit.
