The subject matter for this article was initially intended to be all about “tapegate” the continuing rather unpleasant saga involving the appearance of West Indies players in globally televised international matches clad in shirts that have the former team sponsor’s logo covered over with masking tape. Having made its first appearance as far back as last year’s Sri Lanka Test Series, it has since continued to be an issue until as recently as the just concluded West Indies-Ireland ODI Series. We had intended to examine the likely damaging effects of the tapegate scandal on the reported future presidential aspirations of cricket West Indies current Vice President, Dr Kishore Shallow. Within the past month Dr Shallow has been the spokesperson for CWI’s highly unsatisfactory public explanations in defence of tapegate’s unfortunate, unsavory and as yet, unabated occurrence.Perhaps luckily for Dr Shallow, however, our attention has now been duly diverted by the Guyana Cricket’s Board’s (GCB) recent announcement of its intention to meet with the country’s Education Minister to discuss plans for the introduction of a new school’s cricket initiative. According to the GCB Release “The Board plans to place emphasis on nursery, primary and secondary schools, with the nursery aspect being formally explored for the first time in the history of GCB’s cricket administration.The nursery school’s main focus will be to introduce cricket-related skills to kids at an early age. These training and development activities will be carried out across all three counties of Guyana under the categories: Nursery, Under-9, Under-11, Under-13, Under-15, Under-17, and Under-19 and will feature key development areas for male and female cricketers.”
