In a landmark move to blend education with sports, St Mary’s College has inaugurated a state-of-the-art cricket library at its Serpentine Road campus in St Clair. The facility, housed within the college’s Cricket Indoor Nets, aims to foster a deeper understanding of cricket’s rich history and techniques among aspiring players. The opening ceremony saw the presence of notable figures, including West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva, current St Mary’s cricketers Dariel Deonarine and Ryan Yearwood, and cricket coach Aaron Kurbanali. Also in attendance were former teacher Rudy Balwant, Bevon Julien, son of the late West Indies legend Bernard Julien, and Reshawn Guevara, Bernard’s nephew. The library was made possible through the generous donation of over 150 books and magazines by alumnus and cricketer Nasser Khan. Coach Kurbanali emphasized the library’s role in educating young cricketers about the golden era of West Indian cricket and its heroes. As part of their training, students will engage in research assignments utilizing resources such as coaching manuals by cricketing greats like Garfield Sobers, Malcolm Marshall, and Bryan Davis, ensuring their holistic development in the sport.
