JavedOmarcom Distributes Cricket Equipment to Encourage Students to Take Up Sports

Cricket equipment has been distributed among students in the capital to reduce mobile phone addiction and encourage them to participate in outdoor sports, promoting their physical and mental development. On Sunday (October 11), javedomer.com, a sports initiative, handed over cricket bats, balls and other sporting equipment to children and teenagers at the School of Life campus in Rupnagar, Mirpur. The programme was supervised by Urban Green Haven Limited.

Among those present at the event were former Bangladesh national cricket team star opener and owner of javedomer.com, Javed Omar Belim; Managing Director of Urban Green Haven Limited, Md. Mizanur Rahman; School of Life Principal Amina Khatun Sathi; and Secretary Sabrina Nowrin Limu.

Former national cricketer Javed Omar Belim said, “There is no alternative to sports when it comes to ensuring the healthy growth and development of children’s talents. To encourage them to move away from excessive mobile phone use and become more interested in outdoor games, families, educational institutions and society must come forward. With adequate opportunities and equipment, students will be encouraged to practise regularly.”

Md. Mizanur Rahman, Managing Director of Urban Green Haven Limited, said that a modern sports training centre named Singair Cricket Complex is being constructed in Singair, Manikganj, to bring students back to sports and provide them with training facilities. The centre is expected to be inaugurated soon. He added that their efforts would continue to promote teamwork, discipline and leadership qualities among children and teenagers.

It is worth mentioning that javedomer.com has previously undertaken similar initiatives to involve children and teenagers in sports. With support from The Plasticity Company, the organisation distributed cricket equipment among students at two schools in Mirpur, Dhaka, and Singair upazila of Manikganj in February 2025.
