Kenya include youngsters in squad for Zimbabwe
February 20, 2006
Kenya have announced a 14-man squad for the tour of Zimbabwe which starts this Thursday during which they will play five ODIs in nine days.
Steve Tikolo has returned from club duty in Bangladesh to lead the side, but there are some familiar names missing. Martin Suji has been rested to allow an injured knee to recover in time for the Bangladesh tour which follows immediately after this one, and Ravi Shah is still battling to overcome a similar injury which has kept him out of the game for more than a year.
Collins Obuya, who spent a few weeks under the supervision of Terry Jenner in Australia, has been omitted because there are concerns that he is still not ready to resume top-flight cricket.
All three young players who attended the ICC Winter Training Camp in Pretoria this winter which was run by Andy Moles, the former Kenya coach, are included.
Kenya squad Steve Tikolo (capt), Thomas Odoyo, Brijal Patel, Kennedy Otieno (wk), Tony Suji, Peter Ongondo, Josephat Ababu, David Obuya, Nehemiah Odhiambo Ngoche, Alfred Luseno, Morris Ouma, Kalpesh Patel, James Kamande, Tanmay Mishra.

Executive editor Martin Williamson joined the Wisden website in its planning stages in 2001 after failing to make his millions in the internet boom when managing editor of Sportal. Before that he was in charge of Sky Sports Online and helped launch and run Sky News Online. With a preference for all things old (except his wife and children), he has recently confounded colleagues by displaying an uncharacteristic fondness for Twenty20 cricket. His enthusiasm for the game is sadly not matched by his ability, but he remains convinced that he might be a late developer and perseveres in the hope of an England call-up with his middle-order batting and non-spinning offbreaks. He is now managing editor of ESPN EMEA Digital Group as well as his Cricinfo responsibilities.
