KCA dissolution approaches

According to a report in the Standard newspaper, the KCA will finally be dissolved on Sunday and be replaced with Cricket Kenya. The decision is said to be unanimous amoungst the affiliates of KCA and will finally close the door on an era of mismanagement and division within Kenyan cricket.
With the tour of Bangladesh now looking more certain, and possibly even a visit to Pakistan, things seem to be looking up. Any potential sponsors will have 2 definite, if we include the Intercontinental match vs Holland, and one possible (Pakistan) tours coming up, plus the benefit of knowing their money can be put to good use rather than being used to plug the holes left by Sharad Ghai and his cronies.
From the Kenya team's perspective, they can also look at this weekend as a fresh start. Roger Harper, the new coach arrives on Saturday, and so can go straight to work once the selectors have done their bit. With the form shown in the NPCA Twenty-20 competition, and several key and upcoming players having attended recent coaching forums, there looks like plenty to choose from. We should be able to look to a blend of experience and newcomers to field a very competetive side.
Kwaheri KCA, Karubuni Kenya Cricket!!!
