Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat was Saturday sworn in as the honorary patron of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) and has pledged his support to move cricket in Berbice to new heights.
At a simple ceremony at the St. Francis Complex, Bharrat said, “I am honored and I also feel a sense of pride and privilege to be asked by the Berbice Cricket Board to be the patron for the year 2020-2021 and being here this afternoon to actually be sworn in as the new patron for the next year.”
The minister reflected on his time living in the county up to age 16 when he completed his studies at the New Amsterdam Multilateral School and left for Georgetown in pursuit of his tertiary education.
