Amid much fanfare, pomp, and a stellar showcase of the Guyanese culture through drummers from African and Indian traditions as well as masquerades and choreographed dances, the 9th ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was launched yesterday in Guyana at the MovieTowne Mall, East Coast Demerara.
Simultaneously, the launch was being echoed across fellow host countries in the Caribbean, along with the USA, as part of the 100-day countdown.
At the ceremony, Cricket West Indies (CWI) Director and Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) President, Bissoondyal Singh, noted that it was a distinct pleasure as the co-chair of the Local Organisation Committee (LOC) and CWI director to be a part of the official launch of the championship.
