The Kevin Sinclair Cricket Academy has been a huge success for Demerara cricketers. The Academy commenced on July 17, and catered for cricketers under the age of 17. More than 35 cricketers had gathered at the Everest Cricket Club ground to learn about the game from top coaches in Guyana: Garvin Nedd, Esuan Crandon, and national cricketer-coach Antony Adams.
On the opening day, Coach Garvin Nedd, Coach Antony Adams, and Coach Esuan Crandon conducted the sessions.
In addition to the on-field knowledge the cricketers gained, they were educated about the rules of the game during an indoor umpiring session conducted by Matthew Kissoon. Based on the Coach’s analysis, the players were very responsive.
According to Coach Nedd, the current Guyana Harpy Eagles assistant coach, the academy had an extra day, and will conclude today, Thursday July 20, with a 25-over game sponsored by Georgetown Mayor Alfred Mentore.
Sponsors of the Kevin Sinclair Cricket Academy are Jacobs Jewellery and Pawn Shop, Star Rentals, Suri Trading, Genuine Auto Spares and Tools, A Ally & Sons, and Flawless Dentals.
