adminNAIROBI. — Kenyan cricket captain Collins Obuya will miss the two warm-up matches for the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 qualifying tournament after being suspended for assaulting a fellow player, officials reported on Saturday.
Obuya, a star of Kenya’s 2003 World Cup semi-final success, was involved in an altercation with team-mate Irfan Karim during a recent tour of Sri Lanka. Karim, an opening batsman was also handed a one-match suspension by the Cricket Kenya disciplinary committee which met on Friday to deliberate on the case.
“Both players have been warned that any future misbehaviour will land a stiffer action being taken against them,” the committee said in a statement. Obuya will not play the two warm-ups against Namibia and Hong Kong in the United Arab Emirates tomorrow and Wednesday. — AFP.
