Women's league to be initiated in Nairobi

The Kenya Cricket Association is planning to initiate a women's cricket league, and has said that it is currently training women in preparation for the league.

Sharad Ghai, the board chairman, said that 40 women were undergoing intensive training at the Simba Union Club to have them match-ready. The progressive step is seen as an attempt to raise awareness and participation in the game in Kenya and is in line with the ICC's stated goal of helping Kenya rise in the international cricketing hierarchy.
