West Indies under-19 fast bowling all-rounder, Isaiah Thorne received one pair of cricket shoes through the cricket gear donation initiative ‘project cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana.’
The pair of shoes was donated by former Berbice junior wicket keeper/batsman, Ishwar Singh, the brother of former West Indies youth player Gajanand Singh, who also represented Guyana at the senior level and currently donning USA colors.

Singh, in response, said that he was impressed with this initiative and the progress of young Isaiah and will continue to give back to cricket in Guyana.
