made this disclosure during a visit to Guyana at the Enmore Community
Centre ground, when he presented cricket gear to promising, under-19
fast bowler, Jason Dawes; under-19 batsman, Rajendra Chandrika and
former under-19 batsman, Gajanand Singh.
The presentation was made during the lunch interval of the Leewards
vs West Indies U-19 KFC Cup match. Jamaican Dawes received a bat and
a pair of batting gloves; Gajanand Singh a bat while Chandrika received
a bat, a pair of batting gloves and a pair of pads. Speaking with
Stabroek Sport after the presentation, Etwaroo said that his project
transcends nationalities, and that it was open-ended, in the sense
of not having a time frame.

Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, regarding his plan to 'adopt' one school
from each region every year and each school would receive cricket
gear. Additionally, he said that he had been discussing with the president
of the East Coast Cricket Board, the possibility of providing uniforms
for the East Coast first-division team. Etwaroo also disclosed that
he sells about 16-17 different lines of cricket gear, ranging from
Gray-Nichols; Matrix; CA; Slazenger,etc.
