More corporate sponsorship

More corporate sponsorship

 

There is significant potential for growth in women’s cricket which needs more corporate sponsorship to aid in its development. This is the view of young West Indies Batter Kyshona Knight.

 

Knight made the comment following a presentation of gifts from Banks Beer to the Barbadian T-20 champion cricketers during a recent “Q” in the community event at Brereton, St. Philip.

 

“I think they [corporate sponsors] need to put more support into the women’s games because the men have a lot more support, so if the games are advertised and more persons could come out and support that would be excellent,” she said.

 

Making the presentation, Charles Walcott, Category Manager for Banks (Breweries) Limited stated that the company looked forward to building on their relationship with West Indies Cricket and wished both players and administrators the best of luck in the future.

 

“Banks Beer’s mutually beneficial association with West Indies Cricket has become even more exciting with the introduction of T20 cricket. Caribbean excitement is what our new ‘Life Nice’ campaign is really all about”, he said.

 

Speaking on behalf of the group, off-spin bowler Ashley Nurse said “It was a tremendous feeling to bring smiles back to the people of the Caribbean’s faces”.
