Kenya’s Simba has named a squad to face Zambia in the Victoria Cup fixture set at the King’s Park Arena in Kampala, Uganda.

The squad consists of 13 debutantes. Paul Mutsami, Alfred Orege, Joel Inzuga, Hillary Mwanjilwa, Hibrahim Ayoo, Hillary Odhiambo and Jeanson Misoga all make their test debuts after being named in the side to start.

Emmanuel Otieno, Thomas Okidia, Wilhite Mususi, Brian Ndirangu, Peter Waitere and Dan Ang’wech are potentially in line for their test debuts after being named on the substitute’s bench for this tie.

A test match in rugby union is an international match played between two senior national teams that is recognized as such by at least one of the teams’ national governing bodies.

While several players in the Simbas squad to Uganda have already made appearances for the side, the 13 are playing their first test match.

“It is also important to note that Peter Waitere, Paul Mutsami, Dan Ang’wech and Emmanuel Otieno are making their first ever Simbas appearances,” said Kenya Rugby Union.
