Ramsingh, founder of FL Sport, said: “I think this is a very timely initiative. At FL Sport we’re very pleased to be part of it, the driving force behind it really. Long ago cricket was a season, now cricket is all year round, and there is that demand for scorers.”

We’re happy to have persons from across Guyana.” “There was a worry that this would be just a Demerara based training, but we’re very happy to see so many persons from Essequibo and Berbice.”
