Gohil said the technical bench and playing unit will have to pull up their socks, especially considering the federation have made leaps towards bettering their welfare. “To be very honest about the coaches, they need to up their game.

Gohil said the technical bench and playing unit will have to pull up their socks, especially considering the federation have made leaps towards bettering their welfare.

“To be very honest about the coaches, they need to up their game. We’ve had back-to-back tournaments just in two months. We’ve not been practicing that seriously. We’ve not had outside tours…I am not saying that the coaches have done a good or bad job. We need them to up their game,” the chair said.

He further revealed that CK have embarked on righting the wrongs of the past, particularly by remunerating the coaches and players in addition to offering contracts to all of them.

“Maybe previously they would say that (citing lack of remuneration as reason for poor performance) but Cricket Kenya is now paying coaches and players. So, we need them to up their game or else, you never, there might be changes,” Gohil warned.
