Proprietor of the popular sporting goods store Cricket Zone USA, Ravi Etwaroo, has provided support to the recently launched inaugural Speaker’s Cup International Softball Cricket Tournament.
The tournament, which will be played over the Easter weekend (April 2-4, 2021) in Georgetown, is organised by the Everest Cricket Club.
USA Cricket Zone’s sponsorship is in the form of a brand new E4 cricket bat, branded by Guyanese-born Etwaroo. The bat will be raffled as one of the prizes up for grabs at a grand fundraising event.
The raffle will be drawn on the final day of the inaugural tournament with proceeds going directly to the club’s youth programme.
The tournament will be hosted by the Everest Masters Cricket Team in partnership with the Honorable Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir.
Teams will compete in two categories, namely Masters Over-45 and Legends Over-50, with 16 teams expected to participate, including six from overseas.
Attractive cash prizes and trophies are up for grabs, along with Man-of-the-Match award for each preliminary game, final and Player-of-the-Tournament.
Etwaroo said he is pleased to be part of this tournament, and is looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Club. He added that he is very happy to be given the opportunity to be part of this event.
The tournament would be played under strict COVID-19 guidelines.
