DPI, Guyana, -The private sector has signalled its interest in collaborating with the government to have the replay screen up in time for the International Cricket Council (ICC) 2018 Women’s Twenty20 World Cup. This was disclosed by Minister of Social Cohesion with responsibility for Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. George Norton during an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI).
