Twenty20 underway in Nairobi

Twenty20 has swept across the globe with remarkable speed since its launch in England less than two years ago, and now Kenya has joined Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in adopting the short format game.

A tournament run by the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association will start this weekend at various venues, and will not only involve teams from the capital but also two from the Coast Cricket Association in Mombasa. The finals are schedule to be held at Nairobi Gymkhana on March 13.

The Kenyan Cricket Association had a Twenty20 competition flagged on its website to be held in December. But, like the KCA league and Kenyatta Cup, it never happened.
