NAIROBI: All-rounder Jimmy Kamande has been removed as Kenya captain after only six months in the job.

Kenya Cricket is also looking for a new coach after they accepted Eldine Baptiste’s decision to quit as national coach. The board’s chief executive Tom Sears says they want to start afresh. “Cricket Kenya has taken the decision to stand down Jimmy Kamande as captain as part of the widespread changes we are making during our post World Cup review,” said Sears. “We’re in the process of recruiting a new coach and appointing a new selection panel, we will not be announcing a replacement at this stage. It is important that when the coach and selectors begin their roles they have a blank sheet of paper to work from.”
