Cubs in Action International Inc., Jade’s Wok Asian Cuisine and Pinnacle Business Services Inc. have fused their resources to support national Under-13 cricketer Ashton Collins, who has been named in the Guyana team to face Barbados in a five-match bilateral series from this weekend.

Collins, who plays for Diplomats Cricket Club, is a talented right-handed batter and left-arm orthodox spinner.

“We want to ensure as a young man he has that balance between sports and academics,” Lucknauth added.

The businesswoman further wished Collins well during the tournament, encouraging the Good Hope, East Coast Demerara, youth to give of his best every time he steps on the field.
