Romario Shepherd on Thursday inked a six-month sponsorship with Ansa McAl’s Ginseng Up.
The West Indies and Guyana all-rounder became the newest face of the energy drink at a simple ceremony at the company’s Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara head office.
During the contract signing, the 26-year-old Guyana Amazon Warrior noted that this was a positive move by the company stating, “I’m really excited to be representing this great product and I’m even happier because it’s something I would normally buy and enjoy.
“So, I’m hoping that this would be the start of a great relationship with the brand and myself,” Shepherd added.
Brand Manager for Ginseng Up, Gabriell Lopes, shared her delight at having Shepherd as the face of Ginseng UP.
“We are delighted to sign Romario Shepherd as our Ambassador for Ginseng Up. Romario is a great role model for youths who aspire to excel in sport as he exemplifies dedication and focus in cricket. We would like to wish Romario the very best in his upcoming games,” Lopes noted.
Meanwhile, Country Manager of Carib Brewery Limited (CBL), Kelvin Singh, was excited for the partnership with the talented right-handed medium pacer.
“The team is extremely proud and happy to welcome Mr. Romario Shepherd as a Brand Ambassador for Ginseng Up. Romario is one of the most improved and exciting cricketers in the region…he has proven this both on the regional and international stage. On behalf of the wider team, I would like to wish him a successful regional and international season,” Singh said.
Shepherd will be aiming for a spot in the West Indies side to face Australia in their upcoming series next month before joining the Guyana Amazon Warriors for their Caribbean Premier League campaign.
Shepherd has represented West Indies in seven One Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals along with 25 First-Class matches.
