Odumbe picked as ba ing coach

– Kenya have appointed former captain Maurice Odumbe, 46, – who was banned for five years – as their batting coach ahead of the crucial ICC World Cup league qualifier against Nepal.

Odumbe, who captained the team from 1996 to 2001 and played a key role in Kenya’s three successive World Cup appearances, was suspended from cricket in 2004 after he allegedly received money from bookmakers.
