Latest ICC ODI rankings see some changes for Kenyans

There is plenty of movement of national team players in the latest ICC rankings which were updated yesterday.
After a disappointing series in Ireland, there were both winners and losers among the Kenyan team, but on the whole those who lost were generally the ones that got the fewest chances.

Peter Ongondo - Still Kenya's top ranked player despite slipping 1 place to 30th in the bowling rankings.
Hiren Varaiya was Kenya's biggest gainer - climbing 10 places with the bat and 6 with the ball.
Tikolo remains our highest placed batsman but Alex Obanda is fast closing in...
