IHSAN Sports To Sponsor Kenyan Cricket

Cricket Kenya today announced a clothing and equipment sponsorship deal with IHSAN Sports of Pakistan that will take them through until the World Cup 2007 in the West Indies. The contract is signed, and will cover the following teams:

1. Kenya National Cricket Team.

2. Kenya 'A' National Cricket Team.

3. Kenya U19 National Cricket Team.

4. Kenya U17 National Cricket Team.

5. Kenya U15 National Cricket Team.


IHSAN will provide a full kit for the teams including training gear, protective equipment, playing clothes for both forms of the game, as well as things such as bags and caps. In return, they will be the exclusive suppliers to Cricket Kenya of:
i. Replica wears.
ii. Development cricket gear and cricket balls.


ISHAN Sports will also benefit from having 4 No. Standards perimeter boards at all International matches played in Kenya.
The official signing of the contract will be held at Ruaraka Sports Club tomorrow afternoon as the Managing Director of IHSAN Sports is presently in Nairobi.


This is fantastic news for Kenyan cricket, and a real vindication for all the hard work that Cricket Kenya have been putting in over the last few months. However, while this takes up one of the main sponsorship slots, there are still some good ones out there if companies get a wriggle on. I'm thinking Drink Sponsor, Travel Sponsor to name just a couple. Get on board folks, this train is soon going to leave the station, and it could be a wonderful ride!
