CRICKET: In the midst of one of Kenya’s most loved sports

Cricket is one of the most loved sports in Kenya [Courtesy]

If we were to name two sports that Kenyans love the most, they would be football and cricket. While football has a charm of its own, many of its tournaments and games take place throughout the year. Cricket, on the other hand, has certain limitations, and that is why whenever a major tournament is in play, it is only apt that cricket gets all the attention required.

The Cricket World Cup has started wonderfully and there are a few unexpected upsets already on the board. Although Kenya did not qualify for this World Cup, they are trying their very best to regain that lost spark and get back to playing on an international level. The first step towards that goal was winning the African qualifier for the T20 World Cup, and they did well by defeating Uganda in a nail biter of a match. However, even though their final game with Namibia didn’t take place, both teams did manage to proceed to the world qualifier stage. We can now only hope and pray to see Kenya back in action soon.
