The outstanding work of the Berbice Cricket Board continues to attract the attention of prominent overseas based Guyanese. The Berbice Cricket Board over the last two months have been able to obtain sponsorship through the tireless effort of its U.S.A based Liaison Officer, Oscar Ramjeet. Overseas based Guyanese Brian Ramphal, Dr. Tulsi Dyal Singh and Vernon Throne have all made financial contributions towards Cricket Development Programmes organised by the Berbice Cricket Board. Executive Chairman and CEO of NAGICO, Mr. Imran Mc Sood Amjad has now join hands with Guyana’s most dynamic County Board by providing financial sponsorship toward covering expenses of the visit of Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira.
Perreira, the widely respected International Cricket Commentator and Sports Administrator would be visiting Berbice from the 19th to 22nd July, 2018, as part of a comprehensive development programme. He will meet with players, umpires, Berbice Cricket Board Executives and Representatives of Clubs as part of an effort to strengthen management at the Club and Board levels. NAGICO sponsorship would cover expenses for accommodation, meals, transportation and a One-Day Seminar with one hundred persons. Berbice Cricket Board President Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the historic visit, expressed gratitude to Mr. Imran Mc Sood Amjad for his timely support and also to former Berbice Cricket Board Secretary Oscar Ramjeet for working beyond the call of duty to assist Berbice Cricket. Ramjeet, he stated has single handedly assisted the Berbice Cricket Board to raise over $2M in sponsorship from overseas based Guyanese.
The main objective of the four days visit by the St. Lucia based Perreira is to assist clubs to strengthen their Management Structures so that they can achieve more on and off the cricket field. Special emphasis would also be placed on strengthening the overall operation of the Berbice Cricket Board, while getting officials to understand their list of duties. Perreira would also be meeting with all of Berbice Under-15, Under-17, Under-19 and Female Cricketers as part of a comprehensive personal development programme. The Berbice Cricket Board and the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS would also be honouring the legendary Commentator for his service to Cricket.
