Hi,

I have followed Kenyan cricket since the time when they had Rajab Ali, Chudasama, Odumbe brothers, Modi, Karim, Angara and co. My favourtie Kenyan player is of course Tikolo though it is sad to see that he has retired.

So are people of Kenyan origin taking up cricket as a sport? I know that long distance running is very popular among the Kenyans.

I'm blogrolling your blog and here is my blog. Please have a look at it too.

Any news on the Three one day games between Kenya & Tanzania at the coastal Gymkhana.
I feel Coast and Nairobi must play more often esplly 3 day games. Including Rift valley would also be fantastic.
-----------------------------------
The Cricket Kenya constitution demands a minimum of three clubs to start an Association, I had written to some organization in kisumu to come together to form an Association.
Nyanza club, Jalaram Academy, and Kisumu Boys' High School had shown Interest. The Vice-chair of Nyanza club was very enthusiastic to get cricket back in the province. She also told me to have a word with Braeburn Kisumu International School as it is a British curriculum school and they have a good field.

I then contacted an administrator from Cricket Kenya, and tried to fix a meeting between a CK Administrator, and someone who represented the interested parties from Kisumu.

I was told that CK needs 3 clubs and not Schools, so the schools will have to register as clubs and CK can provide them with this application forms. I was told that as soon as CK appoint a new CEO this task will be assigned to him to accomplish.
