P and P Insurance Brokers is the latest company to provide support for project “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana.”
The company has joined hands with former Berbice senior all-rounder and recently appointed Guyana Cricket Board Technocrat, Anil Beharry and Kishan Das of the USA, in their drive to provide cricket gear for young talented cricketers in Guyana who need assistance.
The project, which was conceptualized recently, will seek new and used cricket gear which to be distributed free of cost.
Option Group and West Indian Sports Complex are the two other companies on board so far.
Two junior cricket bats were donated to bring the total quantity of gear received to seven batting pads, nine bats, three batting gloves and one cricket bag.
According to a release from the body, “Chief Executive Officer of P and P, Bish Panday, a former long serving secretary of Guyana Cricket Board, lauded the initiative and said that he was happy to be part of it. He added that he is fully aware of the many talents lost due to the cricketers inability to purchase cricket gear and said that he is also happy that it is a national exercise. He pledged to continue his support whenever necessary. Beharry, in reply, thanked him and his company for coming on board.”
“Talent spotting will be done across Guyana along with guidance from club leaders to identify the players. Players must be in school and disciplined. Players above school age will also be considered.
“Thanks to Imran and Javed Khan of West Indian Sports Complex, Option Group, Bish Panday of P and P Insurance Brokers and Senior Journalist, former National and Senior Berbice off spinner Sean Devers,” the release stated.
