Atleast Kenya Wants to Visit Pakistan
Tom Tikolo, Cricket Kenya’s chief executive has discussed a proposal with Pakistan Academy manager Haroon Rasheed to play around six one-dayers in Pakistan to get ready for the 12-nation qualifying tournament from where the top four will make the cut for the 2011 World Cup to be co-hosted by Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
When no country including even Bangladesh is apprehensive about coming over to Pakistan to play cricket, the gesture by Kenya must not be underplayed, and Pakistan Cricket Board must encourage Kenyans to come over and have a ball with us, and that is very kind of them.
The Pakistan Academy’s tour of Africa concluded on Sunday with their third one-dayer against Kenya here at the Nairobi Gymkhana.
Henceforth, Kenyans are the minnows in the international arena, and the biggest reason is there very low exposure at the international front. Kenya are struggling at the international arena, five years after reaching the World Cup semifinals in South Africa. Kenyans do need the exposure and Pakistan needs matches.
