BCB CEO, Neil Speight, said, “It is very exciting that Digicel & BTC have partnered with the BCB to help develop our youth cricket program.
“The U12 age group features the highest number of players of all our programs and I know that the young boys and girls are always looking for more opportunities to enjoy our great national sport. I thank Digicel & BTC for providing a program that gives children a constructive and fun way to continue their cricket development during the long summer vacation break.”
Robin Seale, CEO of Digicel & BTC said: “The Digicel brand is synonymous with cricket throughout the Caribbean so it is appropriate that we partner with the BCB to provide this exciting competition for Bermudian youth.
“We have a long tradition of involvement in cricket here through BTCs sponsorship of the Cricket Umpires Association, Digicel with Eastern Country Cricket and previous involvement with BCB youth cricket. The BCB deserves a lot of credit for their summer programs and we’re delighted to be part of something that benefits the island’s youth.”
Minister Sylvan Richards, Minister of Social Development and Sport, said: “I am very pleased to witness another valuable program for our young people. My congratulations and thanks to Digicel & BTC for providing a platform for our young boys and girls to enjoy cricket throughout the summer break.
“The sport of cricket is an incredibly effective tool to deliver life skills to our community; opportunities like this provide an important platform for our children to embrace the values of teamwork, respect and healthy lifestyle. I will be following the series with interest and look forward to crowning the winning team next month.”
