NAIROBI, Nov 1: Kenya will play eight Twenty20s against Namibia and a further two matches in Zimbabwe this month in preparation for next year’s World Twenty20 qualifying tournament, Cricket Kenya said on Tuesday.

The tour begins on Nov 2 in Windhoek, which will host all eight T20s. The team travels to Zimbabwe on Nov 15 to play two top franchise club sides, Mashonaland Eagles and Midwest Rhinos, in Harare.

Kenya has named two separate teams for the tours, with many players having featured in the inaugural East Africa Premier League event, also involving Ugandan clubs.—AFP
