Kenyans invited to Carib Cup

NAIROBI: Kenya, who became the first non-elite team to the semi-finals of cricket’s World Cup last month, is set to play in the West Indies’ First-Class competition next year.

Kenya have been invited to take part in the West Indies’ First-Class competition next year and the Kenya Cricket Association (KCA) Chairman Jimmy Rayani anticipates a positive response from his association. “We have an invitation from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and I’ve no doubt we’ll accept, but first we must look at what it is going to cost us,” Rayani said.  “It’s a great opportunity and will boost our Test bid and may even bring us Test cricket ahead of time,” Rayani added. The KCA is expected to answer the WICB’s offer within 10 days and if they accept they will follow England A, Bangladesh A, and India A as international teams in the regional tournament.
