January 11, 2011

A VERITABLE Who’s Who of local cricket turned up for the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board’s annual get-together to usher in the new year which was staged last Friday (January 7) at the National Cricket Centre at Balmain, Couva.

The T&TCB also used the opportunity to hold an impressive graduation ceremony for participants in its Under-23 Academy which was topped by talented batsman Stephen Katwaroo of Princes Town.

Also rewarded at the function last Friday night were Emile Rajah (Most Improved Inductee), the son of a former national player and Kervon Christmas (Inductee who best embodies the spirit of the Academy).

Giving the feature address was Azim Bassarath, president of the T&T Cricket Board who also used the opportunity to bid farewell to the national senior cricketers who left on Sunday for the Caribbean T20 Championships currently underway in Antigua.

Among those who accepted the T&TCB invitation to participate in the historic occasion were Justice Anthony Lucky and his wife; Mayor of Chaguanas Orlando Nagessar; Ann Brown-John, former outstanding national cricketer and regional cricketer; popular entertainer Adesh Samaroo and First Citizen’s Investment Manager Jason Julien and Community Relations Officer Dale Mohammed.
