National women cricket team captain Daisy Wairimu is in hospital after breaking her leg in a grisly road accident in Gilgil.

The Stray Impala player is set to undergo an operation following the head-on collision on Sunday at 10pm. Wairumu’s mother, Susan Njoroge, is devastated especially after learning her daughter had signed a three year contract with Cricket Kenya to train primary and secondary students in the Rift Valley region

“It is only by God’s mercy that my daughter is alive today and I pray that she heals fast,” she said of Wairiumu, who is hospitalised in a Naivasha hospital.

Elsewhere, the Kenya national Sevens rugby team arrives home this morning from Sydney, Australia where they had taken part in the fourth round of the World Sevens Circuit series and Wellington Sevens in New Zealand.
