Kenya Pipeline Violet Makuto and Agrippina Kundu are delighted with the chance of making their World Grand Prix (Group Two) debuts in this year's tournament in Tucuman, Argentina.

Makuto, who recently won the best blocker award at the African Club Championship in Tunis, replaced veteran Kenya Prisons right-attacker Lydia Maiyo, while Kundu, the 2014 Kenya Volleyball Federation National League libero of the year, was picked at the expense of long-serving libero Elizabeth Wanyama.
