In a significant show of support for the next generation of Guyanese cricketers, FL Sport has provided a timely financial contribution to four members of the national Under-15 squad as they prepare for the West Indies Rising Stars 50-Over Championship in Antigua and Barbuda.

This boost will benefit Richard Ramdeholl (captain), Patrice Fraser, Usain Fredricks, and Shahid Ramzan, all key members of the team that will begin its campaign on April 15.
John Ramsingh, Director of FL Sport, presented the funds to the promising young quartet on Friday. He encouraged them to continue their dedication to excellence, both in their personal development as athletes and in their role as representatives of Guyana on the regional stage.

Highlighting FL Sport’s commitment to giving back to the cricketing community through their corporate social responsibility initiatives, Ramsingh assured the remaining members of the Guyana Under-15 squad that strong performances during the upcoming championship could open doors for future support from his company and other potential sponsors.

Speaking specifically about the four recipients, Ramsingh emphasized their demonstrated discipline and undeniable talent, which they showcased during recent domestic tournaments. He expressed his belief that even modest financial rewards at this stage can serve as a powerful motivator, inspiring these young athletes to set even loftier goals and strive for more significant achievements in their burgeoning cricketing careers.

Ramsingh also offered advice to the youngsters, urging them to remain focused on the fundamentals of the game and diligently follow their coaches’ guidance. While acknowledging the nation’s collective hope for a victorious campaign, he encouraged the players to prioritize giving their absolute best effort and to savor the experience of representing their country as they embark on what he envisions as long and successful careers in cricket.

Looking ahead, Ramsingh hinted at potential opportunities for some of the talented Under-15 players to gain further exposure by featuring in the upcoming Cricket For Charity match, a highlight event of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast, another prominent tournament organized by FL Sport.

Furthermore, he expressed his strong hope that players who have come through the ranks of the Future Warriors for Primary Schools tournament, a grassroots initiative powered by ExxonMobil and also organized by FL Sport, will continue their development, transition to hardball cricket, and ultimately mature into future national cricketers.
