Nairobi concludes U - 19 Boys' trials

Nairobi County drew the bulk of players to move forward to the U-19 training camp after drawing 32 players from their trials this past weekend. The players will be looking to make it to the final squad to represent the country in the ICC U – 19 Men's World Cup Africa Division 1 Qualifier scheduled for Tanzania from 23rd - 29th July 2023. Despite the pounding rains, 51 boys showed up for the three day long Labour Day weekend trials at Nairobi Gymkhana carried out by the U-19 head coach Josephat Irungu. The star studded technical bench was assisted by ex-Kenya international Lameck Onyango in the presence of Cricket Kenya Development Director Thomas Odoyo and the Chairperson of the selection committee, Alfred Njuguna.

32 players were selected to move to the next stage of preparations from 9th May 2023 at Sikh Union Sports Club. They join the three players earlier selected from Mombasa (Hitendra Sanghani, Vatsal Shah and Manav Devani) and three more from the Nakuru County (Hassan Lijodi, Yusuf Khamala and Joseph Macharia) trials.
