Tanmey Mishra blasted 109 for Aga Khan, as they put on a massive 368 against Nairobi Institute on Sunday. It was a good day for the 19-year-old Kenya team hopeful in the match, as he also took 3 wickets for 19. Ashish Karia, also in the provisional squad, contributed 40 runs for Aga khan, and took 2-20 with the ball which would have done his prospects no damage either. It is heartening to see some of the younger players really making their mark, especially as this is a very good time for players to be hitting form. With the Tour to Zimbabwe just over a week away, it will soon be crunch time for the final selection.
One player who, to my mind was a surprising omission from the provisional squad, Brijal Patel, also put on an impressive 65, to show that there is still fight in him. If he keeps that up during the rest of the season, he may convince the selectors to give him a recall later on in the year.
Nairobi Institute never really looked like being in the run chase, and folded for only 131 with 9 overs still to go in their innings. A big win for Aga Khan.
