He continued by saying that the committee made up of former students of the Lower Corentyne Secondary School located in the Town of Rose Hall, Corentyne, Berbice was following the National School Cricket Tournament 2017 and was elated when their former high school won the tournament for the first time. The members were impressed with Anderson’s captaincy and his personal contribution towards the team’s success and that is what motivated them to assist this young cricketer.
The gears include a CA bat, thigh pad, batting gloves, batting pads, full spikes booths and a bag. The national junior cricketer was born in October 2000 and joined the RHTY&SC at the tender age of 10.

He has already represented Guyana at the under 15 and under 17 levels and has scored 16 centuries and 23 half centuries in his short career so far. He is also a very useful spinner.
The committee is very vibrant and is involved in many fundraising events with proceeds donated to several projects at the school to benefit the students and teachers.
In response, Anderson thanked the LCSS NY Committee for their fine gesture of seeing the need to donate the gears to him and promised to continue to work hard to succeed to a level that will make everyone proud, the committee included. Beharry, himself a former student of the school represented the committee and cautioned Anderson to care the gears and make full use of them. He encouraged him to keep his feet grounded, stay humble, discipline, committed and wish him well in the future.
