…Imlach & Motie among local clients

OVERSEAS based Guyanese Colin Bynoe is the former Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Public Relations Officer (PRO) and Guyana’s only fully accredited Cricket Agent.
Among Byone’s clients are Guyana and West Indies Test players, left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie and National Captain Wicket-Keeper, Batter Tevin Imlach.
Among his Regional and International clients are a diverse and growing roster of talented players including West Indies internationals Alick Athanaze, and Anderson Phillip, along with exciting Mikyle Louis.
Speaking on Wednesday night’s Howzat weekly cricket programme broadcast on Guyana TV Network, Byone who played a bit of club cricket, said, “My international portfolio features players such as Afghanistan’s Faridoon Dawoodzai and New Zealanders Max Chu and Jamal Todd, among several other emerging cricketers from across the globe.”

With over 14 years of experience as an educator, Bynoe has had the privilege of mentoring and managing student-athletes across various sporting disciplines. During his formative years, one of the most rewarding moments in that journey was working closely with Shenetta Grimmond, now a West Indies women’s cricketer.
“In addition to my role in education, I also contributed to sports journalism for a number of years, further deepening my understanding of the industry from a media and public engagement perspective.”
“I became a cricket agent as part of a purposeful career transition. I identified a significant gap in the structured representation and commercial development of talented cricketers, particularly in the Caribbean. With my combined education, business, and sports administration background, I recognised an opportunity to advocate for athletes and provide them with holistic career management, international exposure, and long-term strategic planning” continued Bynoe, who participated in track and field and football at university.
