News: Kenya get $445K sponsorship

EABL has committed to support Cricket Kenya with $445K (Sh 28 mil) over the next 4 years. This is about $110K per year. Not bad at all.
Now perhaps Kenya can play some cricket ! Maybe more than 1 game every 2 months!
Kenya already has Ihsan as their sponsor, and also the agreement with Nimbus Productions.

News: “Uganda can play ODIs”

This is a weird piece of news, primarily for 2 reasons. Firstly, Africa Cricket Association is trying for 3 more ODI status teams in the next 6 months? Thats very ambitious, and totally out of the blue. The second reason is the lesson learn from the case of Bermuda. There is little point in pushing [...]

News: Kenya to start national league….

They have been saying this for a while now, but one hopes that this is the real deal given that they have now given a date of November to start the proceedings.
What I like most about this league is the fact that they are going to limit themselves to 4 teams, and that most likely, [...]

News: Kenya the terrible……

I am not sure what exactly the problem is with Kenya. One day, they will come out and beat Sri A, then lose to Uganda, then beat Bangladesh, then lose to NZ in the manner that they did today. It was the shot making of the last 2-3 batsmen, with 4 overs still to go, [...]

News: Kenya bt Bang, Zim beat Sco in t20 warm ups….

Interesting that Kenya beat Bangladesh after the disasterous tournament at home in which they lost to both Uganda and Bangladesh. This was a decent victory as well, by 6 wkts. There was only 1 ball left though, but Kenya would be happy at the fact that they dismissed Bangladesh in 16.3 overs. This was the full [...]

News: Uganda beat Kenya by 2 wkts…….

Uganda have just beaten Kenya by 2 wkts…….. Uganda looked to be coasting at one point, but then a collapse saw Kenya having the upper hand. In the end, 25 year old Nandi Patel hit 32* to see his side through…….
Looks like Kenya is going to get the coveted 4th position in this tournament in [...]

News: Kenya, Pakistan, Uganda and Bangladesh confirm series….

A 20 20 tournament before the championships. I would be interested in seeing the match up between Pakistan and Uganda. Uganda SHOULD be outplayed, but it would be interesting to see how they can cope with Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul and Mohammed Asif.
I think this is a good omen for Kenya….. once again….. They have [...]

News: Kenya beat Sri A by 2 wkts……

Finally….. at least this tour has had some point for Kenya……..
And this victory was without Tikolo in the lineup………..
The series has ended up having everyone on 2 points at the momment………. one more victory by Kenya could see them in the final……..

News: Kenya dismissed for 98 against India A….

And the indians look to be in a hurry, 29/0 from 2 overs….. first ball from Ongondo smashed for 6!
So much for the improved Kenyan performance…… they suck……

New: India A make twice as much as Kenya on Day 1…

A lot of Indian media had been criticising the fact that the BCCI sent the A team to Kenya for match practise. Their point was clearly made today as Kenya were dismissed for 97, and India A finished the day for more than 200 for 4……
I wasnt expecting India A to be so much stronger. [...]
