There is Africa Continental T20 cup going on in Kenya. Four teams are participating in this Cup which are Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Botswana. After a long time I am seeing Kenya playing some international tournament.
Today there is 3rd T20I going on between Rawanda and Botawa. Botawa playing first have given a target of 170 runs and they lost only 2 wickets. Karabo Motlhanka the captain was top scorer with 75(59). Rawanda are going good so far in run chase, scored 35 runs in 3 overs.
Kenya team was once in good position, now they're slowly building up. Went through the scorecard of the match between Kenya and Uganda. Kenya have played well scoring 185/3 and Uganda were all out for 97 runs. The astonishing thing that I came across, Kenya have got five players who have names of Indian origin. Earlier in the old teams there weren't any such players. So checked with the web and everyone were born in Kenya. The names are Rushab Patel, Rakep Patel, Sukhdeep Singh, Sachin Bhudia, Vraj Patel.
Kenya is one of the African continent team which have good domestic talent but due to some political reasons and lack of funds give them setbacks with they have the best record as they were in semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2003 in South Africa which is surely amazing for any Associate country, but things were gone wrong for them and after this we lost this amazing talent and good African cricket team which is now trying their best for the better performance with limited sources because ICC is never been interested to help these countries for the improvement of their domestic system and cricket.
Now, again after long time we have good performance from them which is good sign, hopefully things will be positive as many countries are giving their best i shorter format which is surely best for them and game as well.
