Botswana Wicket keeper Rod Mbaiwa (party hidden) fails to stump Kenya captain Rakep Patel during their Continent Cup Twenty20 International (T20I) Africa competition match on June 19, 2023 at Nairobi Gymkhana.
Patel captained Kenya on two stints - from 2014 to 2018. He took over from Sachin Bhudia in June 2023.
Patel said guiding Kenya to the 2024 International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers in Namibia in November last year was one of his major achievements.
Experienced all-rounder Rakep Patel has stepped down as Kenya men’s cricket team captain due to “frustration”, sources within the team and Cricket Kenya (CK) have revealed.
The 35-year-old wicket-keeper batsman, who plays right-handed and bowls off-spin, tendered his resignation on Tuesday, the same day CK unveiled Indian international, Dodda Ganesh, as the team’s new head coach on a one-year contract, which is open to extension.
