More stars of Kenya cricket from the distant past

KFR cricket fans have been wonderful in naming some of the cricketers I featured in a past post.

I hope you will do the same with the last photos featured here. With gratitude and admiration.

Most of the photos I have posted were kindly sent to me by Nilesh Jhalla. They were collected by his father GB Jhalla, a right-hand bat, right arm fast medium bowler who was an outstanding cricketer.

From John Noronha:

Was delighted to get together today for lunch with former cricketers from uganda - internationals , club cricketers and school team members

The trip from Seychelles to the port of Mombasa was especially memorable because many families travelled through to and from Goa to Africa using this ocean route.
