Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenya Netball Federation has named a provisional team of 30 ahead of the Africa World Youth Cup qualifiers in Pretoria, South Africa, between March 14 and 24.<\/p>\n

The team, which will be whittled to 12, was selected during national U-21 trials held at the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

However, head coach Mary Walubengo is not satisfied with the \u2018limited\u2019 time they have to prepare for the South African contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talent from the secondary schools and colleges is immense. I wish we could have more time to prepare. We have great players but who need a lot of coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

KNF chairperson Immaculate Kabutha emphasised the significance of nurturing youth players for future success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Kenya triumphs in March, the girls will head to Gibraltar for the global event in August,\u201d Kabutha said.<\/p>\n

The federation, she said, is committed to developing young talent in collaboration with the government.<\/p>\n

A total of 11 counties were represented at the trials, which featured 20 teams composed of players from secondary schools and colleges.<\/p>\n

Kabutha led the panel of selectors alongside Walubengo and national team captain Parin Simiyu and his assistant George Adoyo.<\/p>\n

Among the top players named in the team are Doreen Akinyi of Ulinzi Swords and Miriam Nekesa of Kenya Prisons.<\/p>\n
