The Honorable Daryll Matthew, Minister of Education, Sports & Creative Industries, expressed his enthusiasm: “Antigua & Barbuda has produced renowned cricket icons such as Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Andy Roberts, Sir Richie Richardson, and Sir Curtly Ambrose, all of whom have elevated our nation’s legacy on the world stage. Their achievements were fueled by the strong support from fans at home, and through this initiative, we aim to inspire the same dedication for today’s cricket talents.”
