The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) donated a quantity of equipment to the Guyana Blind Cricket Association (GBCA), according to a press statement from the former.
The correspondence stated that the equipment comprised several bats, pads, gloves, and training gear and comes on the heels of the team’s participation in a recently concluded tournament in Barbados.
Meanwhile, GBCA representative Leroy Phillips said, “On behalf of the Guyana Blind Cricket Association and our players, we extend heartfelt thanks to the Guyana Cricket Board for their generous support. This donation is not only appreciated but essential in helping our athletes train and perform at their best.”
“In addition to the equipment donation, the GCB will later present a cheque to further assist the association financially, reinforcing its commitment to the continued growth and sustainability of blind cricket in Guyana. The equipment donation is part of the GCB’s broader mandate to uplift and support all cricketers across the country, ensuring that the love of the sport we all love reaches every corner of Guyana,” the release further stated.
