PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) -- West Indies middle-order batsman Darren Bravo has announced plans to set up a Youth Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.
The academy is due to start on May 2 and run until July 26, with sessions conducted by West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) registered coaches Eldon Ramadeen and Frank Sorzano.
"I want to be a part of the rise of West Indies Cricket as a player, but I also want to inspire young players not only by my performances but by my personal interaction with them," said Bravo.
"Cricket mirrors life in that it demands that individuals have to always assess where they are and try to develop themselves to become better human beings."
The academy is targeting boys and girls between the ages of six and 19, and sessions are carded for weekends at the Brian Lara Recreational Ground in Santa Cruz, Bravo's home town.

This is really good to hear. I am impressed with the current day players have a mindset to give back to the game. Chris Gayle, Pollard and Now Bravo. Wish more players encourage and support the game.

I really did not hear about taht Narps. If they have Great that they had done.
I recently saw even Nikita Miller has started. While the current crop can be called to be below par on the field, but they sure are trying their best to help the next gen.

Help the next generation, or make some money, earn tax rebates, goodwill and the like.
You take a call.
