The pugnacious middle-order youth batsman Adrian Hetmyer has landed a one-year sponsorship under the E4 brand Cricket Zone USA, which is owned by Guyanese businessman and cricket lover Ravi Etwaroo.
The E4 brand is Etwaroo’s brainchild. Adrian who hails from Berbice is the nephew of Guyana and West Indies batsman Shimron Hetmyer and son of former national youth player Seon Hetmyer.
Adrian recently skippered the Berbice U-15 side in the Guyana Cricket Board’s 50-over Inter-County competition where he scored two fifties in three games.
On the local scene, the youngster has repeatedly churned out centuries for Rose Hall Community Centre Cricket Club in Canje. Hetmyer has racked up 10 centuries, including three double-hundreds, at the Under-15 level within the last two years.
In a release from Cricket Zone USA, Hetmyer said; “I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude and generosity to Mr. Etwaroo for providing me with the cricket equipment. Your support means a lot to me and will truly make a difference in my training sessions and matches. Thank you for believing in me and for your valuable contribution”.
Meanwhile, Ameer Rahaman, Hetmyer’s head coach at the Rose Hall Community Centre Cricket Club, also extended his gratitude.
“I want to thank him for recognising the young talent of Adrian Hetmyer and allowing him to use the E4 brand. What I can say is that I have been buying all my gear and coaching equipment from Cricket Zone USA and I must say everything is of top quality,” Rahaman stated.
“Rose Hall Canje has been producing a lot of top young cricketers and we value Mr. Etwaroo’s recognition of our cricketer.”
Etwaroo revealed that he has been following young Hetmyer’s development since his introduction to cricket and was duly impressed with his appetite for runs and big scores which led to the sponsorship.
“He is a very good young cricketer and we at Cricket Zone USA and E4 want to play a meaningful part in his development. I want to personally wish this young man the very best in his cricket career and hopefully the E4 brand can help to elevate his game to another level,” Etwaroo noted.
Hetmyer is the most recent cricketer to have endorsed Cricket Zone USA and E4, as others such as Sherfane Rutherford, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Gajanand Singh, Kennar Lewis, Matthew Nandu, Kimani Melius, Navin Stewart, Oraine Williams, Tevin Imlach, Akshaya Persaud and West Indies female cricketers Rashada Williams and Natasha McLean have all been associated with the brand.
