Ambitious Sh255m cricket league promises to bring stars to Kenya
Kenya Chairman Manoj Patel, AOS Sport Tournament Chairman Chandra Prakash Panwar and Cricket Kenya Board Member Kennedy Obuya during the signing of the Cricket Kenya T20 League (CKT20) contractual agreement in Nairobi on Sunday April 27, 2025.
While urging Kenyans to be ready for the expected thrilling contest, Obuya explained that the league will take the format of the famed India Premier League T20 (IPLT20) to make it exciting.
“It is the first time that a tournament of such magnitude is going to be held in Kenya and so cricket lovers should brace for a riveting display on and off the pitch,” he said.
Cricket Kenya (CK) plans a high profile Twenty20 League that could bring some of the world’s finest cricketers to Nairobi.
Cricket Kenya chairman Manoj Patel and former Kenyan cricketer Kennedy Obuya, who is a board member at the federation, on Tuesday led CK in signing a five-year deal worth Sh255 million with Dubai-based sports promotion company AOS Sport Tournament.
