Two young players from the Bush Lot Cricket Club, West Coast Berbice, have received cricket equipment through the “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana” project.
Fifteen-year-old Rahul Sheeran, a left-handed batsman and medium pacer, and eleven-year-old Tamesh Hemraj, a right-handed batsman and leg spinner, were presented with batting gloves respectively. Their coach, Rajbance Hemraj, sought assistance on their behalf, and the initiative responded promptly.
Led by Anil Beharry (Guyana) and Kishan Das (USA), the programme has distributed over $1 million worth of cricket gear, including bats, pads, gloves, helmets, and balls. To date, 92 young cricketers—both boys and girls—across Guyana have directly benefited, along with several clubs, schools, and cricket committees.
The initiative aims to promote cricket among youth, encouraging discipline, education, and talent development while steering them away from negative influences. Equipment is distributed free of cost to promising players identified by coaches and club leaders.
This effort is supported by local and international donors, businesses, and cricket enthusiasts. Donations of new or used gear are welcome. To contribute, contact Anil Beharry at +592 623 6875 or Kishan Das at +1 718 664 0896.
