KENYA
Cricket Kenya has created a piece of history by electing a women as its new chairman, the first female to
head a national cricket board.
Jackie Janmohammed, a Nairobi-based lawyer, was unanimously elected to replace Samir Inamdar, who
held the post for seven-and-a-half years.
"I take this opportunity to thank the cricket fraternity for placing their trust for leadership under me,"
Janmohammed said. "I would like to make a covenant of uniting everyone for the benefit of the sport and my
only agenda will be to grow the sport and achieve measurable results."
She served as a legal advisor to the old Kenya Cricket Association and will be responsible for implementing
the findings of a comprehensive review that was carried out in the wake of Kenya's disastrous 2011 World
Cup campaign - their worst performance in a World Cup.
Kenya were hammered by New Zealand - who bowled them out for 69 - Pakistan and Sri Lanka,
handsomely beaten by Australia and, of most concern, being swept aside by Zimbabwe and comfortably
beaten by Canada. An alarming set of results only eight years on from a semi-final in 2003.
"My short term plans are to ensure both the national Under-19 and the senior men's team qualify for the
next World Cup," she said. "Kenya play Canada in the UAE in March, in a match we need to win to stay in
contention for the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand."
Kenya currently lie sixth in the ICC World Cricket League Championship, with the top two teams in the
group automatically qualifying for the 2015 World Cup. Kenya have six points with two matches to play.
Ireland top the table with 13 points, Scotland are second with 11.
Should Kenya miss out on automatic qualification, they will still have a route to the World Cup via the
qualifying tournament in 2014.
-----------------------------------------------------------------Cricket Kenya three new players have been introduced to the Pepsi ICC-Africa Womens World Cup
Qualifiers Tournament side from the team that played in last year’s Africa Women Twenty20 held in
Uganda. 15 year old Daisy Wairimu who was declared the player of the tournament in the December 2012
Africa Junior Girls Championships in Uganda made her debut in the team of 14 players.
-----------------------------------------------------------------On Saturday November 17th, 2012 the Kenya Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association conducted an
Umpires & Scorers Refresher Course which was attended by 19 of its members. This course was convened
by R. D'Mello duly assisted by Mr. D. Odhiambo & Mr. D. Angara.
The course was run on the power point and all the latest rules and regulations were explained by the
respective speakers. The members were also taken to the Premier Club Cricket pitch and were briefed on
the various ettiquete of on-field umpiring.

Another venture for Mali Cricket was the inclusion of " Bahaben Santara School " into
its set-up. The School has more then 2 000 Children and Juniors. Activities are to
commence in January 2013 which will surely bring about an increase in Mali’s playing
numbers to around an additional 2 000 players before the end of 2013 and a possible
target of 4 000 players in 2015.

successfully facilitated by David Odhiambo from Kenya.
Odhiambo a level 2 coach, who besides being the development manager at Cricket Kenya is a qualified
cricket administrator and also a renowned cricket umpire in the Africa region and beyond currently one of
the members that form a strong 11-man ICC Associates and Affiliates International Umpires Panel.
First up was the introductory cricket course that began on the afternoon of Friday 23rd November, 2012.
The course attracted 14 candidates from the main Island of Mahe and involved largely students of the game
– a group of young cricketers taking part in the local leagues and some teachers from the schools around
the island that have been involved in cricket.
PAGE 9
After the introduction by the facilitator explaining the aims and objectives of the course, the session took to
the field to use as much day light as there is possible to conclude outdoor activities before embarking on the
video presentation indoors when staying out becomes impossibility.
To conclude the events that evening the attendees were given an opportunity to ask questions on what they
had learnt before they proceeded indoors where a 30-minute video was run for them showing the points that
they had just learnt outdoors and also giving them a second look at the key points once again be it only
visual but to also fill in questions that might have evaporated during the activities outdoors. The second
morning brought about the fielding positions challenge that the participants did reasonably well although
further tests would have been preferred if only time allowed for this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------The inaugural edition of the Cricket Administrators Programme (CAP) on
community cricket was successfully held at the Palace of football in Victoria on
the 24th of November 2012 and brought together a group of 12 participants and
was again facilitated by David Odhiambo.
The course was very interactive and all the participants used the opportunity to
get the most out of the program. There were activities which were used by the
facilitator designed to help the participants better understand the course
content. The main idea of CAP is to produce cricket administrators of the
highest integrity. The concern has been that African countries have lagged
behind in terms of good administrative skills not so much with Seychelles
but of course this sort of training just go to strengthen whatever good work that
has been done or and is thought to be a generally well managed country
compared to rest of the her colleagues in the region. The course addressed
issues in regards to better administration and accountability.
--------------------------------------------------------------
PAGE 10
The final day characterized by a heavy downpour for the better
part of the day saw an increased number of participants for the
umpires course since a few more would-be players on the day
were unable to take part in a planned match and hence chose
to join the rest in an expanded indoor training at the same
venue involving a total of 18 persons. This introductory course
sought to initiate the new umpires to the laws of the game and
the challenges that come with implementing the same on a
cricket field in an impartial manner within each umpires
individual jurisdiction.
Participants at the umpiring course keenly listen to the explanations from the facilitator on the final day. A
huge chunk of the 42 laws of cricket were covered to ensure that the graduates from this course had
something to take home with them as well as get the minimum necessary laws that will allow them to stand
in practice, school or friendly club games. The knowledge they possess however significant would not in the
facilitators estimation considered sufficient enough to get straight on to the big league especially the ones
attending for the very first time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------In its continued quest to develop and spread the game of cricket to all parts of the country, Zambia Cricket
Union has launched and introduced the game of cricket to the North Western Province of Zambia. The
launch was followed by an Introductory to Cricket course from 26th to 27th December, 2012 and attended
by 15 teachers from seven schools.
The launch and cricket course was given extensive coverage in the national print media, the Times of
Zambia and the North Western Province Community radio stations, Solwezi Radio and Kabanga Banga.
Most people in North Western Province do not know much about the game of cricket and with the
introduction of the game in the Province, a lot of interest is expected to be generated among the local
people of the area, especially among the school going children once schools reopen and the game
introduced to them. The community is also expected to benefit in that most of the rural people generally do
not engage in sporting activities and with cricket been introduced, they will have something to look forward
to, in as far as watching and playing the new sport of cricket is concerned.
All the 15 participants successfully completed the Introductory to Cricket Course and it is expected that with
the basic knowledge they have acquired in cricket coaching, they will go back to their respective schools
and start laying the ground work by imparting the knowledge to the pupils. The course objectives were to
provide the participants with a basic understanding of the game of cricket and the basic education of the
game has three important components namely,
PAGE 16
(a)Playing and Coaching,
(b)Umpiring and
(c) Scoring
During the topic on coaching, batting basics, bowling basics and fielding basics were covered and
participants put through their paces by ZCU Development Cricket Officers. Modified games were also
played as part of practical sessions. The seven schools each received three sets of soft ball cricket
equipment to help in the setting up of school teams. All the participants are expected to form and start
coaching teams from their respective schools.
