Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>National cricket team have now shifted their focus to the 50-over format, captain Shem Ngoche has said.<\/p>\n

This follows this week’s T20 bilateral series outing against Nepal, where the visitors triumphed by 31 runs on the final day to win the series 3-2.<\/p>\n

The 50 over series, against the same opponents, begin at the Nairobi Gymkhana on Friday.<\/p>\n

Ngoche said key to their way forward is giving opportunities to young players, which will guarantee the much-needed exposure at the top level with the eyes on the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now focusing on the coming 50 overs. We are also going to give a chance to the youngsters but we must combine them with the experienced players,\u201d Ngoche said.<\/p>\n

Despite the defeat to the visitors early in the week, Ngoche said he was not disappointed by how they played since they were treating the outing as a learning experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not feeling bad because I believe positive things are coming. Yes, we lost three and won two and I believe this was a platform to learn where our mistakes are. As a team, we shall meet and discuss how we are going to strategise on solving our errors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that their major setback is lacking in their first six overs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur major concern is in the first six overs because we are not able to score the maximum runs for the players in the middle and low order. When it comes to bowling and fielding we are okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ngoche also expressed his elation towards the comeback of cricket after a bout of struggles. He said he is hopeful things will fall into place and go well.<\/p>\n

\u201cCricket Kenya is now back on its feet. I believe everybody now is on the same page. It\u2019s a new leaf and I am happy that the future of the sport now looks bright,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
