Former internationals Pearl Omamo and Kennedy Obuya were voted in as directors in charge of women’s cricket and county association representation respectively.
Uganda topped the table with 10 points off 5 wins and the solitary loss to Kenya. The Kenyans were second on 8 points off 4 wins and 2 losses and were certainly left to rue the match day 1 defeat to Tanzania.
They had earlier registered an 8 wicket win over Nigeria, Alex Obanda batting his way into the history books with a monster century that earned him the man of the match accolade, his 103 runs making him the first Kenyan to score a century in a T20 international. The Nigerians had reached 130 for 6 after 20 overs with the Kenyans overhauling them, reaching 136 runs for the loss of 2 wickets after 13.4 overs.
The 2003 tournament was slightly overshadowed by England and New Zealand refusing to travel to play in Zimbabwe and Kenya respectively because of security concerns.
Arshan Jasani and Riziki Kiseto were the destroyers in chief, Jasani plundering seven boundaries in a 90 run contribution for Tanzania while Kiseto decimated the Kenyan batting order with a 4/17 contribution.
With no opportunity to reschedule the event, Tanzania and Rwanda have now been promoted to the Africa Qualifier on the basis of their records in the previous five editions of the U19 Men’s CWC qualifiers.
