Kenya v Australian Academy XI

Kenya make changes for Aussie series

Kenya have only brought in one new face for their series of three one-day matches against an Australian Academy side at Nairobi Gymkhana starting today.

Rakheb Patel, a 17 year-old allrounder, was drafted into the 14-man squad after good performances in the Nairobi league. But three of those who were in the side for the recent Bangladesh series - Brijal Patel, Jimmy Kamande and Timothy Muange - were dropped.

Also returning are Alfred Luseno, probably Kenya's fastest bowler, who has missed recent matches because of a shoulder injury, and Nehemiah Odhiambo and Kalpesh Patel.

Kenya's selectors will be watching the top-order performances particularly as it is those that caused so much trouble in recent matches.

The second and third matches take place at the same venue at the weekend.
