On accepting these nets, the Minister for Youth Development and Sports, the Honourable Kenson Casimir, said: “The Ministry of Youth Development & Sports is delighted to have received two batting nets from CPL and the St Lucia Kings. The communities of Choiseul and Soufriere will be the recipients of this much needed investment in their cricket Development.
