Kenya: They surprised everybody by defeating the West Indies when they made their debut in 1996. They also made the semi-final in 2003. But since then, Kenyan cricket has been dogged by match-fixing and corruption scandals. Veteran Steve Tikolo has come out of retirement to guide the team during the World Cup, but head coach Eldine Baptiste and newly appointed fielding consultant Jonty Rhodes have a tough task at hand.
Key men: The 39-year-old Tikolo, a former captain, will be playing his fifth World Cup. The batting will depend on Tikolo, who will be the prime scorer of the team.
World Cup record: Played 23, Won 6, Lost 16, No result 1.
Squad: Jimmy Kamande (captain), Seren Waters, Alex Obanda, David Obuya, Collins Obuya, Steve Tikolo, Tanmay Mishra, Rakep Patel, Maurice Ouma, Thomas Odoyo, Nehemiah Odhiambo, Elijah Otieno, Peter Ongondo, Shem Ngoche, James Ngoche. Coach: Eldine Baptiste (West Indies)
