Cricket Kenya chairman Manoj Patel said, “We are gearing towards a Vision 2027, where we would look forward to returning to ODI Fold, qualify for ICC T20 World Cup, and work on the cricket infrastructure and popularity in Kenya. We look forward to introducing broadcasted domestic events, a world standard T10/T20 league, and player centric plan for player development. Starting from the ground level, we are set to have Kenya D10 starting from August 13th, 2022.
