Lethal try-scorer Collins Injera is among the familiar faces that have not been selected for the opening two rounds of the 2016/2017 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series which begins in Dubai this weekend.
Injera has been left out alongside Nakuru powerhouse Oscar Ouma.
Injera's brother Humphrey Kayange is also out of the squad which is less surprising given that he was sparingly used last season and the same can be said of Biko Adema.
The team will then travel to South Africa for the Cape Town Sevens a weekend after the Dubai leg.
Kenya has been drawn in Group A alongside Australia, France and Japan.
