Cricket Kenya, in collaboration with SA Event Worx, a futuristic sports management company, is set to launch Kenya Blaster League (KBL), the nation’s first major T20 cricket league. Cricket fans will witness top players competing in the league as well as young talents trying to make a mark in the sport.

Hemant Keshav Sharma, Founder of SA Event Worx stated, “We are honoured to join hands with Cricket Kenya to bring the Kenya Blaster League to life. We’re creating something special here, a platform where local and international players can compete at the highest level. It’s not just about the game; it’s about putting Kenyan cricket on the global map.”

Kenya has frequently been part of ICC tournaments in the past and featured in several World Cup editions. The nation has been home to several cricketing talents and promises to offer thrilling encounters in the upcoming KBL. 

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.
