Manoj Patel, Chairman of Cricket Kenya, said “We are not just hosting the KBL but working towards attracting thousands of fans to the cricket grounds and via live broadcasts with the potential to reach millions of fans globally. With Kenya being a renowned sporting nation, we hope to also go the extra mile in featuring community outreach programs, youth development initiatives and fan engagement activities to ensure KBL becomes an everyday feature within the communities with a lasting impact.
With the raging success of major T20 leagues like the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League or the Major League Cricket, the KBL, too, is looking to make a big splash in the world of cricket.
