Among the officials attending the launch were Marketing Director of Elizabeth Styles Kevin Thomas via Skype.
Thomas said: “While this is the fifth consecutive year that we are sponsoring cricket on the East Coast of Demerara, we have also in the past sponsored Under 17, 19, 21 and development programmes in the county of Berbice and it gives us great pleasure to be associated with the game in Guyana.
