Businessman offers U-15 cricketer financial reward for every run scored in Inter-County

Businessman offers U-15 cricketer financial reward for every run scored in Inter-County

Businessman and sport enthusiast, Dexter ‘Bushman’ Garnett, is backing youth batting sensation Kishan Silas during the Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) Under-15 Inter-County Super50 tournament, which bowls off today.

Silas was named on the GCB XI and will be in action against Berbice at the Everest Ground, and Garnett, through his Bushman Pawnshop and Money Lending business, will be offering G$1,000 to Silas for every run scored in the Inter-County Championship.

Silas, a student of Charlestown Secondary, enjoyed an exceptional outing at the crease for Georgetown during the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) Inter-Association Under-15 tournament.

The nifty right-handed batter had several top-scoring innings, while playing a pivotal role in seeing his side over the line in many matches.

“He’s a promising player, and I like seeing youths excelling at something they love and are good at, especially those that need as much support possible to keep them in the sport,” Garnett said.

According to the businessman, his support will go towards the Charlestown youngster purchasing equipment and cricket gear, and to assist in his travel to training and matches.

“I didn’t just want to give him the money, but put it as an incentive to motivate him to do well for the team. In other words, I wanted him to work for it and know that through hard work, he’s going to be rewarded,” Garnett said.

He added, “This support is to also ensure that young Silas stays the course in the sport and be a role model for youths in the Charlestown community and to show that sport can be used to elevate their lives.”

Garnett is known for his support of many budding talents in the disciplines of basketball, football and tennis, while also assisting several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).

After facing Berbice today, Silas and his GCB XI team will play Essequibo on Wednesday, followed by an encounter with Demerara.

Matches will be played at Enmore, Everest, and the Georgetown Cricket Club Ground (GCC). First-ball time is 09:30h at each venue.

A GCB release stated that this year’s tournament is expected to be very competitive, with most of the players from last year returning because of the eligibility age implemented by Cricket West Indies for all age group tournaments in 2023.

Silas, like the other players, will be looking for a place on the Guyana team that is set to compete in the Regional Under-15 tournament, slated to commence on April 2 in Antigua and Barbuda.

Guyana Diaspora Forum

We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide.  Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK.  Our Blog and Newsletter  would not only carry  articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese  We hope that you like our selections.

It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana.  This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000.  Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s.  The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating.  We hope this changes, and soon.

Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren.  The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly.  This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country.  Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.

This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines.  As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.

YareliFormer Guyana and West Indies all-rounder Narsingh Deonarine turned in a Player-of-the-Match performance to lead West Indies to victory over Australia on the opening day of the Over-40s Cricket Global Cup 2023 in Karachi, Pakistan.

West Indies emerged with an 84-run victory on Tuesday, joining hosts Pakistan, Canada and Hong Kong as winners on the first day of the 45-over tournament.

Batting first, West Indies posted 267-7 from the full allotment of overs and then dismissed Australia for 183 from 35 overs.
