Mudassar named as Kenya's new coach

As widely expected, Mudassar Nazar has been named as Kenya's interim coach following the resignation of Andy Moles over the weekend.

Mudassar has been running the KCA academy and is familiar with Kenyan cricket. "In the interim basis, we have appointed Mudassar to coach the national team besides running the academy," said Sharad Ghai the embattled KCA chairman. "He is a former captain of Pakistan and has been coach of the Pakistan team."

Ghai would not be drawn on Moles's departure less than a fortnight after the coach had committed his future to Kenya. "He finishes his contract with KCA on February 28," Ghai said. "He will spend this time handing over and then proceed to take up his new post in March."
