Opposition Spokesman on Sports, Wavell Hinds has blasted the Government for not honouring its commitment to pour J$100 into an investment fund for the development of youth cricket in Jamaica.

The commitment was announced in a news release issued on September 23, 2023 by the Minister of Sport, Olivia Grange.

“The Government reinforced this on March 12, 2024, when then Finance Minister Nigel Clarke announced in his budget presentation that J$40 million [of the amount] would be allocated in that fiscal year to kickstart this three-year programme,” said Hinds.
