LAST Friday, one lucky Caribbean Premier League (CPL) fan got the opportunity to test his cricketing skills against CPL player Ashmead Nedd, and a chance to win a 50-inch television.
At the start of the challenge, the chosen contestant, Ganesh Sugrim, noted his excitement of being selected to play against up-and-coming Guyanese cricketer Ashmead Nedd, who has played CPL cricket for the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in this season of CPL. Need has also played for the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Jamaican Tallawahs previously.

As the men settled in and began the game play on the PS5, compliments of Courts, through TCL and CPL, Sugrim won the support of the crowd, who were staff and customers that brought the atmosphere of CPL to the store, with cheers and shouts of support. However, Ashmead showed his on-field skills on the controls, and made light work of the competition in the second inning. He expressed his enjoyment of competition, and pledged his continued support of Courts, as did Sugrim, who, despite losing the game and the chance to take home the TCL 50″ SMART TV, was still rewarded with a TCL 45″ SMART TV.

The game was played from the International edition of Cricket 22, a PlayStation game which has the tropical party of the CPL in the Caribbean and updated gameplay, which allowed Ashmead Nedd to play as himself in the Patriots team. Both players noted their enjoyment of the innovative gameplay the game offers. Courts Guyana carries the latest products in gaming accessories and supporting systems.
Courts, a brand of the Unicomer group, held this e-sports challenge as part of its ongoing 30th Anniversary celebrations. The challenge was held at the mega-store on Main Street.
