Nagamootoos contribute to ‘Project Cricket Gear’

THE Nagamootoo cousins, Vishal and Moses are the latest sponsors to come on board “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers,” the joint initiative between Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Executive Anil Beharry and Kishan Das of the USA.

On a recent visit to Guyana, Vishal, a former National and West Indies “B” wicket-keeper/batsman, contributed one cricket bat and one pair of cricket shoes. He also represented Berbice and Guyana at all youth levels.

Moses, who is the son of former Prime Minister of Guyana, Moses Nagamootoo, contributed one pair of batting pads and one pair of batting gloves.

They are the nephews of former West Indies captains and cricket legends Rohan Kanhai and Alvin Kallicharran. Vishal’s brother Mahendra, represented West Indies at the senior level.

At a simple ceremony held recently, the Nagamootoo cousins disclosed that they were delighted to be part of the initiative and at the same time the development of young cricketers in general. In response, Beharry thanked Vishal and Moses for their kind gesture.
