Video: Ramnaresh Sarwan Arrives In Bermuda
Former West Indian captain Ramnaresh Sarwan arrived in Bermuda this evening [July 26] to take part in a Youth Cricket Clinic.
Mr Sarwan – along with fellow cricketer Jerome Taylor – will attend the Digicel Youth Cricket Summer Clinic, organized by the Bermuda Cricket Board [BCB] at the Berkeley Institute School Field. We spoke with Mr Sarwan on his arrival to Bermuda, watch below:
ESPN said, “A nimble, Chaplinesque right-hander, Ramnaresh Sarwan was brought up in the South American rainforest around the Essequibo River. After his first Test innings, 84 not out against Pakistan, Ted Dexter was moved to predict a Test average of more than 50 – an unfair millstone to hang around any young player’s neck.”
“But on his first tour, to England in 2000, Sarwan lived up to the hype by topping the averages. His footwork, which seemed to require no early trigger movements, was strikingly confident and precise.”
The Digicel Youth Cricket Summer Clinic is open to children aged 7 – 13 and will be held from July 4th through to August 5th from 9 am to 3 pm daily. The cost is $100 per week. For more information, please contact the Bermuda Cricket Board at 292-8958 or via email at info@cricket.bm
The visit by the two top cricketers was sponsored by Digicel. When making the announcement Digicel Bermuda CEO Wayne Caines said, “Digicel is always delighted to provide assistance to community events, especially those directed towards the youth.”
“Cricket is such an integral part of Bermudian culture and we are pleased to sponsor the Digicel Youth Cricket Summer Clinic and also to be the official mobile communications provider for the Bermuda Cricket Board. We are particularly excited to bring in two renowned West Indies cricket players to assist with coaching Bermuda’s youth.”
