Prime Minister Mitchell, a strong advocate for cricket development, has emphasized the significance of the sport during a brief opening ceremony, stating:
“I grew up on cricket and like many people my age, my passion for the sport remains strong. We continue to believe in the importance of giving young men and women the opportunity to play, to grow, and to develop through cricket. This is an investment because Cricket plays a vital role in every Grenadian community, and we need to invest more in its development, as it has the power to bring people together for generations.”
