**Albion, Guyana – September 12, 2024** – The Albion Community Centre Cricket Club and its young players received a significant boost recently with a donation of over G$3 million worth of cricket gear from Canadian-based Guyanese Fabian Naiken.

Naiken, a former key figure in Albion’s cricket development during the 1990s, presented the gear during the club’s 2024 Cricket Academy closing ceremony. He emphasized the importance of discipline, dedication, and determination for success, and expressed his continued commitment to supporting the club.

The donation was made possible by Naiken’s personal contribution of over G$1.8 million and additional support from several former Albion cricketers, including Safraz Samad, Adrian Permaul, and Hemnarine Chattergoon.

The equipment distributed included complete cricket kits, wicket-keeping gear, bats, gloves, and bags for young players. Two young cricketers from neighboring clubs also received complete kits.
