Sports Minister, Charles Ramson Jr. and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS) congratulated West Indies spinner, Gudakesh Motie on his record-breaking feat.
In a statement yesterday, Ramson said, “Motie’s achievement belies his struggle to even be selected to the West Indies team – a perennial problem which Guyanese have faced over the decades – yet underscores the fountain of talent which exists on Guyana’s fertile shores.”
“His accomplishment, along with that of [Tagenarine] ‘Tage’ Chanderpaul, justifies the investment which the H.E. President Irfaan Ali led Government of Guyana is making sports and community grounds – consistently the largest ever in our country’s history,” the statement continued.
