Enterprise Legends, an Over-40 cricket team on the East Coast of Demerara, last weekend honoured all-rounder Bhaskar Yadram for leading Guyana to the 50-over title in the just concluded Cricket West Indies Regional Under-19 competition in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Members of the Enterprise Legends cricket team played a specially arranged softball match in honour of Yadram, before presenting him with a cricket band in recognition of his achievements this year.
During the brief ceremony, NK Omar, a member of Enterprise Legends, said the members thought it best to honour Yadram, since apart captaining Guyana to the Under-19 title, he also created history earlier this year in the Inter-county youth tournament.
On April 11, 2018, the right-handed Yadram pulverised the Select Under-17 squad at the Everest ground, blazing to 301 not out for Demerara. It was the first triple hundred ever scored at this level.
Omar said the Legends are indeed proud of the strides made by the young cricketer, and they are confident he will continue to excel as he makes the move up to senior cricket.
Yadram said he is happy to have been acknowledged by the Legends, noting that he is committed to follow in the footsteps of opener Rajendra Chandrika and become the second player from Enterprise to play for the senior West Indies team.
