Kenya will play eight Twenty20s next to Namibia and a further two matches in Zimbabwe this month in training for next year's World Twenty20 qualifying competition, Cricket Kenya said Tuesday.
The tour begin on November 2 in Windhoek, which will host all eight Twenty20s. The team travels to Zimbabwe on November 15 to play two top franchise club sides, Mashonaland Eagles and Midwest Rhinos, in Harare.
Kenya has named two separate teams for the tours, with most of the players having featured in the opening East Africa Premier League tournament, which also concerned Ugandan clubs.
Only one Kenyan club reach the final, and the chairman of selectors, Alpesh Vadher, said the tournament exposed how much the Kenyan side needed to improve.
"Following the end of the East Africa Premier League these two tours will be critical in developing our player's skills in this format, in front of the T20 World Cup qualifying tournament next March," Vadher said.
"The EAPL has shown us that our players have a lot to learn about playing Twenty20 and the more matches we can play against appropriate opposition the better.
"The two squads chosen give opportunities to a number of players to show they have the aptitude to make the squad next year."
