Guyanese and West Indies cricket legend Sir Clive Lloyd is set to take a lead role in the establishment and operations of Guyana’s proposed Cricket Academy.
The 80-year-old icon, celebrated as one of the greatest cricket captains of all time after leading the West Indies to two World Cup victories, will assume the principal role at the country’s premier Cricket Academy.
This announcement was made during the Ministry of Sport’s year-end press conference, hosted by Minister Charles Ramson Jr, on Saturday.
According to Minister Ramson Jr., the academy will be a state-of-the-art facility located on a 20-acre plot in Good Hope on the East Coast of Demerara.
The minister confirmed that a formal contract with the cricketing legend will be finalized in the coming weeks.
As cricket remains Guyana’s leading sport, the establishment of a national cricket academy is seen as critical for the development of players and the sport as a whole.
