Skyexch.net has been confirmed as the title sponsor of the upcoming Kenya D10 tournament and Fan Code will live stream the competition in India. The event would be called Skyexch.net Kenya D10 Powered by Fan Code.
Cricket Kenya has decided to tie up with Pacific Star Sports (PSS) as a commercial partner. Both organizations are looking to introduce the D10 tournament in the eastern African country. The tournament will start on August 13 with six teams. The D10 is already successful in the UAE and Oman and will be introduced in Kenya thanks to a partnership between PSS and ITW Universe.
Manoj Patel, Cricket Kenya Chairman, said, “We are gearing towards a Vision 2027, where we would look forward to returning to ODI Fold, qualify for the 20-20 World Cup, and work on the cricket infrastructure and popularity in Kenya. We look forward to introducing Broadcasted Domestic Events, a World Standard T10/T20 league, and a player-centric plan for player development. Starting from the ground level, we are set to have Kenya D10 starting from August 13th, 2022. We welcome Pacific Star Sports as a partner in our journey, and we thank them for trusting our vision for Cricket in Kenya.”
Ali Akbar Khan, Director of Pacific Star Sports, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Cricket Kenya. We would be supporting the creation of multiple broadcasted events for Domestic Cricket, Bilateral Cricket, and League based cricket. In our attempt to deliver the best for Kenyan Cricket, we have partnered with ITW Universe to bring their highly successful domestic event D-Series to Kenya. This is just a start; we would soon be announcing a major league by next week.”
The tournament will be played between August 13 and 23. Six teams namely Nairobi Lions, Kakamega Buffalos, Embu Rhinos, Costa Dolphins, Homa Bay Eagles, and Nakuru Flamingos will compete in the inaugural season of the tournament in the African continent.
