Every Simba started somewhere
The Cricket Kenya pathway links schools, counties and age-group squads to the national teams — for players, coaches and match officials.
Five steps to the national team
Talented players are identified at school and county level, developed through age-group squads and domestic competition, and selected for Kenya’s national teams.
Play
Schools and community cricket, soft-ball introduction and holiday clinics run by county associations.
Develop
County age-group squads and the National Schools Cricket Championship. First national talent ID.
Perform
National development squads, camps and the Male and Female Cubs competing in ICC Africa qualifiers.
Compete
Club leagues and county competitions — the proving ground for national selection.
Represent
The Simbas and the Lionesses, competing in ICC events and international series.
More ways into the game
Women & Girls
Girls-only programmes, the Female Cubs and the Lionesses — with dedicated coaching and competitions.
Coaches
ICC-aligned coaching courses from Foundation to Level 3, plus continuing development for county coaches.
Umpires & Scorers
Train as a match official or scorer — from club matches up to ICC-appointed international fixtures.
Volunteers
Help run match days, school festivals and county programmes. Every club needs volunteers.
