Later today (20th March) a team from Kenya will go out to do battle against a far more experienced side in something of a David vs Goliath style clash.
Kenya are undoubtedly the under-dogs but they are led by legendary Captain Steve Tikolo. New Zealand will not have an easy ride.
The ICC World Cup is here once again- is it really 4 years?-and the boys from team Kenya did a great job in an emphatic victory over Canada in their opening match of the competition. True to form Captain Steve Tikolo led from the front and by example in a fine display of a team working as a single unit. The team came to the World Cup fresh from victory at the World Cricket League tournament held in Nairobi between 29 January and 7 February this year. Kenya recorded good wins against Bermuda, The Netherlands, Ireland and Canada before beating Scotland in the final.
Don Wainaina on Kenya's best sports team, and an appeal to Cricket Kenya to popularise the sport.
