Economic
stimulant from
cricket
The
ICC Champions trophy being held in the island will pump in
an estimated $25 million into the local economy in direct
and indirect benefits, the organisers said. Here, a beer back-packer
dispenses cool beer to a 'thirsty" cricket fan at one
of the matches last week. The brewer, which said it had been
awarded exclusive beer selling rights at the tournament in
a contract worth $20,000, has deployed 30-40 back-packers
with mobile dispensing units at the matches. Pic. by Ishara
