The Bermuda Cricket Board announced that young female cricket scholar Leilanni Nesbeth has been selected to the Sussex County Cricket Women’s Under 15 Squad.
Nesbeth is currently studying at Bedes, a prestigious independent school, that provides outstanding Academic and Sporting opportunities for Boys and Girls.
Nesbeth joined Bedes just 2 months ago through the relationship that the Bermuda Cricket Board enjoy with Bedes school. Nesbeth had the opportunity to meet 3 of the young Bedes female cricketers on the recent Bermuda Cricket Board Development Squad tour, hosted by Bedes, and has flourished in her first term so far.
Lloyd Fray, President of the Bermuda Cricket Board, said, “The BCB is proud of its work in girls development which is completely grassroots focused. Nesbeth is an outstanding young lady. We have been privileged to assist in her development as a cricketer via our internationally acclaimed development program and watch her blossom from a little girl into a fine, community spirited, humble young woman. I have no doubt that Nesbeth will grab this opportunity with both hands and represent herself, her family and all of Bermuda with pride and humility.”
Nesbeth noted, “I am very thank-full for the incredible opportunity that has been created for me by the BCB and Bedes School. Not only am I getting the chance to pursue my sporting dreams in a competitive and high performance environment, I am also receiving first class academic support for my GCSE’s which I will take next year.”
